It and its two short 2006 sequels, The Meatrix II: Revolting and The Meatrix II 1/2, were set in factory farms and a slaughterhouse and were commissioned projects for the GRACE Communications Foundation.
Books
In July 2012, Free Range founder Jonah Sachs published his first book with Harvard Business Review Press, Winning the Story Wars: Why Those Who Tell -- and Live -- the Best Stories Will Rule the Future. In Winning the Story Wars, Sachs argues that brands that tell value-driven stories can truly revolutionize marketing. In 2018, Sachs released his second book, Unsafe Thinking, which explains "how to be nimble and bold when you need it most".
