‘Culling The Cure’: Documentary on Canada’s mass ostrich slaughter to premiere in Kelowna

The wait is almost over.

The premiere of Culling The Cure: The Aftermath of Canada’s Ostrich Slaughter is coming to Kelowna, B.C., on Friday, September 18 and today, we’re giving you your first look at the official trailer.

For weeks, I was embedded at Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, B.C., documenting the farmers’ battle with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency through arrests, roadblocks, legal conflicts, and vigils — and now the truth will prevail.

The farmers' fight to save their healthy flock came to a brutal end on November 6, 2025, when federally contracted marksmen killed more than 300 healthy ostriches in the name of avian flu prevention.

Now, after months of putting together the footage, interviews and unanswered questions surrounding what happened on that farm during Canada’s most controversial and costly cull, Canadians will finally get to see the full story on the big screen.

Culling The Cure is produced by myself and brought to you by Rebel News in association with In the Furnace Films.

The world premiere kicks off Friday, September 18 in Kelowna. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., the film begins at 6 p.m., and I’ll stay after the credits for a live Q&A with the audience.

Tickets are $30, seating is limited, and this will be the first public screening of Culling The Cure anywhere in the world.

RESERVE YOUR SEATS FOR THE WORLD PREMIERE!

And Kelowna is only the beginning.

Culling The Cure will be touring other cities and provinces across Canada, so if you don’t see your city yet, sign up to be notified as new screening dates are announced.

Watch the trailer, share it with your friends and family, and get your tickets before they’re gone. I’ll see you there!

Watch the brand-new Rebel News documentary, Culling the Cure.

The government slaughtered hundreds of healthy ostriches on a small family farm in Edgewood, B.C., and if we don't document what really happened, they'll keep calling this massacre a "cull" and move on.

So we documented it — and our Rebel News documentary, built on months of on-the-ground reporting and exclusive footage exposing the CFIA, the RCMP, and the system that destroyed Universal Ostrich Farm, is nearing completion.

Watch the trailer, get tickets to a premiere screening, and sign up to be notified when Culling the Cure comes to a city near you.

    Thank you Drea for putting this together. The world needs to see how messed up liberal Canada is.

    What happened at Universal Ostrich Farms was a planned, calculated show of force by a state whose democratic credentials are becoming flimsier by the year. Fundamentally it had nothing to do with the health or lack of health of the ostriches.

    This film needs to be screened far and wide. Citizens need to see how the CFIA acted so brutally against these farmers. It’s important to show every citizen just how mean the bureaucrats were.
