Funded by the Firstsite Collector's Group, Drinking Raw is the next documentary film from Matthew John Harrison. The film is currently in production and will focus on those who choose to drink their milk unpasteurised. 

Some claim that raw cows milk has the miraculous power to heal and that the pasteurisation process kills off the rich nutrients of the milk, whilst others outright reject its existence as raw milk can carry diseases such as tuberculosis.

Drinking Raw will spend time with those on both sides of the issue, with one side calling for a return to a more natural way of life and the other dedicated to following our scientific understanding about the spreading of disease. 

Should society return to a more wild sensibility? Or should we hold fast to our rational risk aversion?

The film will be premiered at Firstsite, Colchester later this year.
