Info

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.

Speciesism: The Movie Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Mr Stuart D Egan My girlfriend and I watched this film and really enjoyed it. The film maker's approach is open and honest as he investigates how we treat non-human (and indeed human) animals. The viewer follows the film maker on his journey of discovery, and sees him learn some truly shocking facts about modern factory farming. While serious and challenging topics are discussed, and in some places the film maker finds himself in some very awkward situations, the film maker is always polite and pleasant to his interviewees, and simply tries to understand their view. One of the highlights for us was the section with Gary Francione. He explains the philosophy of the harm principle in such a simple and easy to understand way it could be a real "a-ha" moment for the viewer (as indeed it seems to be for the film maker). Highly recommended.
Gary Wellings Richard D. Ryder coined the term in 1970, and the argument that it is simply a prejudice, first appeared in 1970 in a privately printed pamphlet written by British psychologist Richard D. Ryder.Director Mark Devries presented a superb,factual account of the prejudice in society against animals,opening the eyes of children today. An awareness of the mistreatment of animals in the movie,will hopefully bring about a new era.The message was clear,concise and thought provoking. I now look at all animals in a different light. Lack of rationality, language ability, social connections — also applies to some humans. Yet we don't use those things to measure the worth of humans. Adult humans who can reason, infants, the cognitively disabled and orphans are all considered equally valuable. The reason we try not to harm other humans is because they can feel and suffer.
grandadlovessoup The most forward thinking and revolutionary documentary film I have ever seen (and I have seen A LOT). Make sure you stick out the first half as it takes a while for the documentary to get going. Initially I just thought it was another typical documentary of it's kind until the second half began. I have been well and truly blown away. Please make sure you watch this documentary all the way through. It really is incredible. It will change the way you think and possibly change your life. It is so revolutionary in it's ideas and theories. I urge anyone to go Vegan if you are already a vegetarian, it will change your life for the better and open up a world of food you didn't even know about.
justine langseth This documentary was brilliantly pieced together. I absolutely loved how Mark took the side of the sceptic and questioned everything as a meat eater would. He left no question unanswered. I felt the same as another reviewer-I was concerned about the possibility of having to watch another film with a lot of graphic content. This film didn't have that. It explained this social justice movement on an intellectual level and he included a lot of humour. It was a refreshing take on an otherwise very graphic and violent subject. I sincerely hope this gets aired in schools, on TV.. the public needs to see this film. I've seen this documentary twice and I bought copy so I could show it to friends.
