Gunda: A Conversation with the Filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky
About the Event:
The acclaimed boundary-pushing documentary Gunda is a stunning glimpse into the often overlooked animal world. A story of a mother sow and her piglets, two cows, and a one-legged chicken, the film encourages audiences to truly see animals: as living, breathing beings with lives and consciousness. Join the filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky and WBEZ journalist Monica Eng for a conversation about the making of a documentary that shifts our perspective and recalibrates our moral universe.
