I have a small amount of Spanish language experience (lessons as a 3 year old, a brief intro class in middle school, and several months of tutoring a few years ago before a month-long trip to Spain). I took a year of Mandarin Chinese in college and have returned to it occasionally on my own since then just to review. My husband is about the same as me at Spanish (he had the same several months of tutoring before our Spain trip) and is a complete beginner in Chinese. We both took French in school and I also have taken a semester of German... but are only interested in studying Chinese or Spanish at this point.
In Mad Cowboy, Howard continues his focus on the beef industry and the issues that surround eating beef. Three years in the making, the film is culled from 150 hours of footage and includes countless interviews throughout the world with activists, scientists, victims, ranchers and consumers with opinions on every side of the issues.
Mad Cowboy: The Documentary is directed by Michael Tobias and written by Michael Tobias and Howard Lyman. The facilitator of this event is the Petaluma Film Series. This film will show at The Aqus Café, 2nd & H Streets in Petaluma. There is a suggested donation of $4.00, but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. The Aqus Café is offering full beverage service for our series this season, so come early and enjoy a snack and drink. Wheelchair accessible.
