Slay

This is a documentary that has come out right in time when everyone is talking about the role of animals in our lives, for food, fashion and what not. Disclaimer: There are some graphic videos showing how fur animals are tortured, electrocuted and killed. Same with leather and other things in fashion. Most people are comfortably unaware of the goings on in the fashion industry where animals are unnecessarily tortured when there are non-animal alternatives that are a lot more sustainable. Everyone should definitely watch this documentary as it affects one and all.

It is high time we leave animals out of our plates, clothes and cosmetics and this documentary definitely provides the impetus to do just that.

A worthwhile watch for anyone wanting to understand these industries, the truth behind what we wear and how we live. Emotional, empathetic and visually a very well done film by a passionate team. Especially poignant following the journey of filmmaker Rebecca from fashion lover to animal rights activism. This film has been thought about thoroughly - it was factual whilst also telling a story, one of which without a happy ending but leaves you feeling like we can and must do more to protect the animals, our planet, and humans involved in the production of materials. The world is changing and it's amazing to see people so passionate to pushing the change. Very well done.

Another Inconvenient Truth, Slay diligently unpacks a compelling case against animals in fashion. Fur, wool, leather are shown as being far from 'natural' by the time they are on our clothes or accessories and the revelations of animal - and human - suffering are shocking and distressing. But this is no 'outside' job wanting to kick the fashion industry - this film is by the fashion industry and for it and its kinder future. The film may be laser sharp in exposing the cruelty hidden in our clothes but it also shines a light on the hopeful way forward. An uncomfortable but important must-see film.

Bless God and all involved in the creation of SLAY for so brilliantly revealing the hidden cruelty, trickery and lies that have gone unchecked in fashion for far too long.

As confronting as it is to face the gore behind the 'glamour', it's time to know the truth. I consider myself a relatively well-informed individual but knew little about the extent to which systematic and utterly unnecessary abuse - to animals, the planet, humans - is inherent in the leather, fur and wool industries.

The Innocent - billions of them, including babies, suffering right now - cannot speak up for themselves. SLAY is their voice. May it be watched, shared and acted on far and wide and urgently. The animals need us!

Slay is a great documentary film that not only features people talking to the camera but also covers a lot of ground work for fur, leather and wool in several countries like India, China, Australia and Europe.

One thing I really appreciate as I am quite sensitive, is that despite the topic being about animals (and planet and human rights) there is nothing graphic on the screen. I used to think leather and wool were fine and okay for the planet, and I was shocked by the facts, the data and the images that came from these industries. I am really recommending it to anyone interested in fashion, sustainability or simply making better choices.
