TIFF 2011: Trailer For ‘We Ate Children Last’

Canadian author Yann Martel became famous in 2001 when he published Life of Pi, which was awarded the Man Booker Prize. The film adaptation directed by Ang Lee and based on an adapted screenplay by David Magee is scheduled to be released on December 21, 2012. However before than, we will have another film based on Martel’s work: Director Andrew Cividino will be at the Toronto International Film Festival next month with his short film We Ate The Children Last.

Synopsis: Researchers discover a radical cure for digestive tract illnesses by transplanting organs from pigs into the human body. Medical miracle morphs into pop phenomenon as eating garbage explodes in popularity, but society is not prepared for consequences more irreversible and chilling than a fleeting fad.
