Write a short summary of what happens in the film
The film depicts a kingpin and her bodyguard who runs an oat drink empire in the underworld of the school. A lucrative business in a place where oat drinks are still not welcomed.
Background:
Every year, around 160 million liters of cow's milk are served in schools, subsidized by the EU's so-called School Milk Scheme. Encouraging children to consume milk products when their eating habits are being formed. At the same time, the EU has ambitious climate goals, which among other things, must be achieved by increasing the consumption of plant-based food. It doesn't quite add up, does it?
We launched the "Normalize it!" campaign to shake things up and start a debate on the issue. The starting point was that children today are forced to pick cow's milk at school – if they want something else, they need to get it themselves.
Describe the Impact:
The filmed stirred up a lot of emotions. Not only did it start a wide debate about milk subsidies, the campaign generated a 340% increase in feedback submissions to the EU (7155 compared to the average of 2091 per open consultation). This has led to multiple countries declaring an openness to include plant-based drinks in the School Milk Scheme (!) and most importantly to the EU deciding to revisit the matter in a vote to update the School Milk Scheme to include plant-based alternatives(!!). The vote takes place in the spring of 2023. Fingers are crossed.
