Holy Cow: An Animal Fable

An irreverent adventure created by the star of The X-Files, full of personality and an unforgettable quadruped heroine. Elsie Bovary is a cow who is very happy in her bovine nature. Until the day she decides to sneak out of the pasture and finds herself drawn to the farmhouse. Through the window, she observes the farmer's family gathered around a luminous God Box—and what the God Box reveals about something called "factory farming" turns Elsie and everything she knew about her world upside down. The only way out? Escape to a better, safer world. Thus, a diverse group is formed: Elsie; Shalom, a grumpy pig who has just converted to Judaism; and Tom, a laid-back turkey who can't fly but can use an iPhone like no one else with his beak. Armed with fake passports and disguised as humans, they escape the farm, and that's when their adventure takes flight—literally. Elsie is a sassy and witty narrator; Tom dispenses psychiatric advice with a somewhat forced German accent; and Shalom unintentionally brings Israelis and Palestinians together. David Duchovny's charismatic characters point the way to the mutual understanding and acceptance this planet so desperately needs.
