Earthlings
95 min.
The philosopher Tom Regan remarked, "For those who watch Earthlings, the world will never be the same." Indeed, the footage in this documentary is so disturbing that many of its viewers have consequently become vegetarian or vegan. However, these graphic scenes of animal suffering and death are merely business as usual for the animal industrial complex, a system that has decimated our planet and harms animals and humans alike on an unprecedented scale. Additionally, this film examines the for-profit use of animals in other industries - as pets, scientific research subjects, entertainment, etc.
