Jun 14, 2016 The best documentary movie I've seen about something that is really important - our communication with animals and the industry we are forced to deal everyday in our life's. A truly revolutionary Movie that makes you re-think your ideals of life and start being angry at the people who are creating this so-called industry. The most interesting thing for me was the compassion and how the movie strays from it but focus on the communication and what should be right in terms of life.

A case is quietly made, through Jo-Anne's images to STOP our actions of cruelty towards animals. A lot of this is unneeded and just plain cruel (i.e. fur farms). The images and film are hard to watch, but it's important that this message is spread in order to bring about change on a global scale. Thank you ladies.

Brave photographer Jo-Anne McArthur and visionary film maker Liz Marshall expose the clandestine and pervasive industry that commits horrific abuses against those animals whom we as a society view as commodities: whether to eat, wear, or otherwise exploit. In the film, we see the faces of these animals and, as we look into their eyes, a glimpse into their souls. See this film. It will inspire you to look into your own soul. And help.

Some reviewers have criticized the documentary because it doesn't give a more broad approach to the issues of animal cruelty and exploitation, but that's clearly not the intent or point of this film. It's a glimpse of an artist who devotes her life to the invisible suffering of countless animals along with footage of a sanctuary where animals live in peace, dignity and kindness. The debate exists within the visuals. As with all art or any great debate, show me don't tell me. We don't need a voice over or a debate on whether the cruelty is acceptable, for medical research or any reason. That debate exists already in many films & videos and countless books. The power here is in the images and the story of one person who chooses not to ignore animal cruelty in her life and in her art.

A quite well made film with beautiful images saying more than those thousand words, doing more than those direct action sabotages. See more Read all reviews
