              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.

              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.
