The use of office spaces were done very well. I feel as this film falls short on the budget aspect but do not let that throw you off.
My high school class was required to watch Meat in the 1970s. It isn't just a brilliant documentary about the brutal world of a slaughterhouse and how fast a living animal is turned into chops of meat.
Saw this documentary once in the late seventies when it aired on PBS and, considering the subject matter, the Meat Packers lobbying group probably went ballistic and has prevented it from ever being shown to the public again.It's pretty scary and after seeing how cattle and sheep are processed for human consumption.
