The film explores the ambivalent relationship of people and their fellow creatures: animals.
Modern farms are struggling to keep a secret. Most of the animals used for food in the United States are raised in giant, bizarre factories, hidden deep in remote areas of the countryside. Speciesism: The Movie director Mark Devries set out to investigate. The documentary takes viewers on a sometimes funny, sometimes frightening adventure, crawling through the bushes that hide these factories, flying in airplanes above their toxic manure lagoons, and coming face-to-face with their owners.
Self
Фильм иллюстрирует жестокость цивилизации, зависимой от систематического насилия и разрушения окружающей среды, и героизм всех тех, кто противостоит этому лицом к лицу. Быстрая графика, интервью, военные съемки и сатира высмеивают излишества глобальной экономической системы, даже в то время, как она рушится вокруг нас.
Himself
After spending nearly 11 years in prison for breaking into an animal experimentation laboratory to expose animal cruelty, a young man is finally released and risks it all again to save more animals.
