For two days in the late summer of 2010, hundreds of angry protesters stood in front of Frontenac Prison Farm in the heart of Kingston, Ontario, ready to block cattle trucks brought in to remove the hundred-year-old prize dairy herd. The dramatic standoff between protesters and police lasted two days, through pouring rain and hot sun. It was front page news across the country. An army of black-clad police arrested twenty-four people. The youngest woman arrested was 14, the oldest, 85. Till The Cows Come Home tells the story behind this extraordinary display of civil disobedience, filled with gripping confrontations and a cast of colorful characters, from irate farmers to passionate nuns to endearing ex-cons. It asks provocative questions about the Canadian government's alarming approach to criminal justice, food security....and democracy itself.
