“This compelling film, in our opinion, has the potential to change the way Americans think about, consume, and make meat for years to come.”    SIERRA CLUB: Maya Richard-Craven. 04.07.22

Imagine a world where real meat is produced sustainably without the need to breed, raise and slaughter animals. This is no longer science fiction, it’s now within reach. At the forefront of this urgent frontier is Mayo Clinic trained cardiologist Dr. Uma Valeti, the co-founder and CEO of Upside Foods (previously Memphis Meats), the leading start-up of the “cultivated” meat revolution.

Panelists for Q&A

  • Paul Shapiro, CEO & Co-Founder of the Better Meat Co. and author of Clean Meat 
  • Christopher McNeil, Analytical Chemist at Finless Foods
