Have you heard of this process called transfarmation? On this episode, we talk to photographer and filmmaker, Thomas Machowicz, about the We Animals Media short film he co-directed with Sabina Diethelm, called Transfarming Switzerland. This is a must-see heart-warming film that follows the journey of Sarah Heiligtag as she helps to carve a path for farmers in Switzerland, and beyond, to move from animal production to animal sanctuaries and veganic farms. Join us as we chat with Thomas about this inspiring film, as well as his work with Molly Condit on the Sanctuary documentary, which captures visual stories about compassion for animals and the people who rescue them.
