Hi, I wanted to share with you: Fray Bentos – Epicenter of the Uruguayan Industrial Revolution. The story of how Liebig saved his niece’s life and completely transformed the food industry and the future of warfare.
This is a documentary multimedia project we worked on collectively with Diego Vidart, Larry Hayden, and Daniel Milnor, exploring the history behind Anglo slaughterhouse as the most significant reference of the Uruguayan industrial revolution.
This was also a very inspiring experience of working collectively and cross-boundaries with photographers from Uruguay and the US. An interesting experiment of how we each saw and experienced the same topic.
The Fray Bentos brand of uruguayan produced corned beef played a very significant role for many families during the war. I've come across a few stories from kids that grew up eating this and being the single one item you would take with you to the refuge when the sirens announcing an air strike would sound. I would love to come across with more people (particularly from Europe) that might have additional stories to share. If you do or know someone who might, I would appreciate if you could get in touch with me or share this post with them.
Any comments, feedback or simply references to the subject are more than welcomed. Thanks.

It is a well presented project. I've only scanned it but will completely re-read it tonite. Besides a good story, you have put together a first class work.

Thanks for the feedback. Very much appreciated it. It's collective work, so not only myself was involved in creating it. Thanks for checking it out and sharing with us. Martin.

I was asked off-line about what cameras we used for this project. Video was shot with a Canon 5D Mark II. Most of the stills were either a Leica M9, M7 and M6. The square shots were mostly a Hasselblad and there were also a few stills shot with the Canon.
