In 1971, CIA analyst Daniel Ellsberg shook America to its foundations when he smuggled a top-secret Pentagon study to the New York Times, which showed how president Nixon had consistently lied to the American people about the Vietnam War. Henry Kissinger called Ellsberg “the most dangerous man in America” who “had to be stopped at all costs.” But Ellsberg wasn't stopped, he fought back. Facing 115 years in prison, he continued speaking the truth and ensuing events surrounding the so-called Pentagon Papers led directly to Watergate and the downfall of President Nixon, and hastened the end of the Vietnam War.

"I was going to be an anthropologist, I was going to be a journalist. I was going to be a writer, an archaeologist, a filmmaker, a biochemist, a pharmacist. I was never going to be a missionary or a forest ranger, but nevertheless my father sent me off to Papua, New Guinea with the missionaries".

The Meatrix is a humorous 4-minute Flash animation that spoofs The Matrix films while drawing attention to the problems caused by factory farming. Instead of Keanu Reeves, The Meatrix stars a young pig, Leo, who lives on a pleasant family farm ... he thinks. Leo is approached by a trenchcoat-clad cow, Moopheus, who shows him the ugly truth about agribusiness, complete with a send-up of the "stop-motion" camera work immortalized by the Matrix. At the end of the movie, viewers are directed to an "action page" which provides additional information about factory farms and encourages consumers to support local family farmers and purchase sustainable-raised meats through the Eat Well Guide.

Market shoppers use all of their senses when trying to ascertain whether the groceries are local or imported. The privileging of local produced over imported goods is ever present regardless of whether or not the groceries are actually better, this follows two lines of argument - that by buying Croatian produced goods they are supporting Croatian agriculture and that domestic products are more familiar and more tasty, although it is not the origin of the goods but the method of its production that counts. They rather choose to buy local goods simply because they are "ours, Croatian, local”, and not some foreign, unfamiliar and alien foodstuff which is therefore deemed of lesser quality. For the preserves traditionally prepared to last throughout the winter, only local production is considered worthy, it has to be treated, and conserved, for it to be safe, and caught at its best moment of maturity. This process demands that all foreign bodies be destroyed, that only the best pieces are used, those without fault, all this need be cleansed for the preserved to be safe from all decay.
