THE LAST PIG is a documentary feature currently in production. Principal photography has been underway since summer of 2014.  We are presently seeking funds to complete the last phase of shooting and post production. Target completion is June 2016.

STORY

THE LAST PIG journeys into the life of a pig farmer as he grapples with death, searches for compassion, and finally finds the courage to change.

For over a decade, Bob Comis has provided a humane—even idyllic—life for the pigs he farms. But as he tends to his charges, he develops a closeness that begins to haunt him, and his weekly trips to the slaughterhouse become agonizing . With 250 pigs on the farm, Comis suddenly finds himself trapped by his past.

Through this personal journey, THE LAST PIG raises crucial questions about equality, the value of compassion and the sanctity of life. Comis’ soul-bearing narrative carries us through his final year of farming pigs, the struggle to reinvent his life, and the ghosts that will haunt him forever.

It is our hope that THE LAST PIG will help propel a shift in our society’s relationship to non-human beings and our capacity for compassion.

Piggies being piggies, not bacon
nor fodder for labs.
we want to live life as
piggies,
not on plates or cold
slabs!

    this is a touching story, Stacey… but I guess many of us sooner or later we’ll have to confront themselves with such questions.
    Since I stopped eating flesh, I can look at animals in the eyes. I wish I had understood that when I was younger… last 25 years has been a progressive lesson and since five I’m free! My kids now are going through the choice, but my husband and I can help them to take the right decisions with consciousness. :-)c
