SCCAA presents Speciesism: The Movie (Free)
Speciesism:
The Movie (A
documentary that will change your life forever) FREE!
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.
But
this is just the beginning. In 1975, a young writer published a book
arguing that no justifications exist for considering humans more
important than members of other species. It slowly began to gain
attention. Today, a quickly growing number of prominent individuals
and political activists are adopting its conclusions. They have
termed the assumption of human superiority speciesism. And, as a
result, they rank these animal factories among the greatest evils in
our history. Speciesism: The Movie brings viewers face-to-face with
the leaders of this developing movement, and, for the first time ever
on film, fully examines the purpose of what they are setting out to
do.
This
is a free
