In a Quebec where even artisanal butchers rely on industrial meat, Renee LeBlanc-Paulin has made a radical choice: to work exclusively with whole local carcasses, which she and her team cut every week in her Trois-Pistoles butcher's shop. Around her, a network of committed women - chef, breeder, slaughterhouse manager, institutional cook - helps her to keep alive a circuit as fragile as it is necessary. The Butcheress of Trois-Pistoles follows their collective struggle to build a viable model, through the very real pitfalls of raising, slaughtering, processing and distributing local meat. But the film goes beyond the obvious: it shows that solutions do exist, if we choose to act together. Let's start by asking a simple question: where does the food we eat come from?

00:00Have you served?
00:01Yes, I have a good one.
00:02The people don't really know where their food comes.
00:05We can't imagine that there's a beef here,
00:07but that it's not us who eat it.
00:09The final thing is that it's really it.
00:13The proximity circuit was destroyed
00:15in the 70's and 2000's,
00:17and we're there to rebuild it.
00:21Who is ready to do the sacrifices
00:24to change the model?
00:27We want to make the change
00:30for the circuit court
00:31and the local distribution
00:33I had to really trace this path
00:37for the brewery.
00:38It's nice, but with the membrane,
00:40like the Argentine font,
00:42we can't come back.
00:45This kind of dependence
00:46to import,
00:47we're able to do it.
00:49We have local meat.
00:52We're going to put local meat on the table.
00:54Exactly.
