Ma Ka Doodh (Mother’s Milk) tells the story of the dairy industry in India. Cows are supposedly considered sacred in this country of 1.1 billion Hindus. India is also the world’s largest producer of milk, and one of the world’s largest exporters of beef. Yet killing cows in most states in India is prohibited.
Filmmaker Dr. Harsha Atmakuri travelled around India to make this poignant film about cows, buffalos, and profits. He became a devoted vegan/vegtarian in the process.
