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
event!
