Divine Pig

Some people love him, some people hate him and others simply want to eat him! Dorus is one of three pigs an unsuspecting Dutch butcher had been fattening up for the holiday season, but two of them got rescued by animal rights activists instead. As Dorus matures into his second year and reaches the point of slaughter, his owner has to decide whether his love for the pig runs deeper than his love of pork. “Divine Pig” explores this controversial animal and challenges our cultural assumptions and tastes. In many parts of the world the pig is considered harmful and impure. But still, it is the most-eaten animal in the world. From every angle, our feelings for the pig and for Dorus’ fate are challenged. Will Dorus survive the film? By the time we learn of his fate, where do our sympathies lie? One thing’s for sure: “Babe” was definitely NOT the definitive pig movie!
