Synopsis

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.

Mjeteconer Just perfect...
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
nbrof5 The term 'speciesism' is rather new, but the meaning of it certainly is not new at all. This movie is a great film for anyone, especially those who are new to the truth about what animals suffer or who do not believe that the factory farm industry is hiding anything. A great film, and well worth double the price. Should be shown to every elementary, middle, and high school, and college student in America. This movie has a gentler approach to explaining the realities of the sentient-beings-as-food production industry than many films which, while excellent and thorough in their content, sometimes cause people to turn off the movie because they are so disgusted by the truth. Of special note in this film is a short clip featuring the author's father. Very sweet -- it brought tears to my eyes.
Roger Sanchez Humans tend to think of themselves as superior for the most part. We are not: our callousness for allowing our society for force itself to think of animals as our 'supply-and-demand' bucket is shown in all its disgusting glory in full-force on this documentary. Supplement this with other videos/blogs/articles/news/etc. detailing the atrocities we subject our counterpart equals (yes, animals - all of them) to.Animals are here with us to teach us compassion, love, and to live life from beginning to end with their families and how they choose. If you don't believe otherwise and still choose to blindly subject yourself to modern-day inexcusable cannibalism (unknowingly, unwillingly or otherwise), this documentary can help you out should you need any guidance for an open heart.This may not me much of a review more than it's a personal view of wanting anyone who needs some clarification to watch this for the sake of animal's lives - they are counting on your decision :)
carlagolden I found this film a refreshing approach to animal rights and liberation. Yes, it addressed the dichotomy of human love for animal companionship and the horrors (without being unbearably graphic) of the animal food industry, but it also spent significant time reasoning out the absurd rationale why people eat animal foods. I enjoyed the logical dissection of the topic by the film's experts. The animal food industry has so many negative implications for the animals, the planet, and human health that it's hard to cover all topics in depth in one film, however they were all touched upon but the ethics of choosing animal foods were the focus. I would encourage all viewers to make sure they include viewing the interview outtakes in the extras section of the DVD.
Carrie P Freeman I was impressed with how many philosophers, scientists, activists, and scholars he interviewed in the film -- lots of the authors of all the books I read -- to help provide their perspective on the logic and ethics of animal rights. My favorite part is in the middle when the cameraman has an emotional epiphany (mind explosion) about his newfound enlightenment about animal rights and the magnitude of the suffering we are inflicting on animals (it really does change your perspective on the world to become anti-speciesist), noting that it isn't sentimental or cute to stand up for the rights of fellow animals. It is just the right thing to do.
