    A MUST WATCH! Lifechanging.

    I would recommend this to anyone. Especially those open minded people who want to get a better understanding of the world.

    Watching this was like a rollercoster of emotions, thoughts and questions. There were so many things I learned and realized from watching this.

    This made me question a lot of things I've never thought about or naturally just taken for granted as a truth.

    The title is good as it refers to the word "ignorant". That's exactly how I felt I was before watching this.

    I've seen a lot of Joey's work before. His story, dedication and willpower says a lot.

    You will not regret watching this, but you might regret something else. Something you will become aware of after watching it.

    A Must See

    One of the best documentaries I've seen, I couldn't recommend it to people enough. Don't miss this exceptional work of journalism, storytelling, suspense, editing, exposé, and inspirational messaging.

    Pignorant follows animal activist and former gang member Joey Carbstrong and others as they attempt to capture the first ever publicly available footage of how around 90% of pigs are stunned and killed in the UK. Featuring many different interviews and locations Pignorant was able to keep me gripped for the duration of it's runtime despite some of the footage being tough to watch. It was incredibly informative and eye-opening and it's my hope many people see this film as I feel they deserve to know it's contents.

    Don't look away

    This is your opportunity to be the good person you believe you are. Watch this movie.

    This is a documentary that many won't find easy to watch. That's exactly the point. It won't be a happy one. But you have the opportunity to make things better. For you, and for everyone else around you. This movie is for everyone.

    Be strong, be honest to yourself. Be really honest. Watch it.

    Do not call yourself an animal lover if you disagree. Loving your dog is not analogous to that. This movie is educational, and is about respect. Respect to everyone who wants to live.

    Watch this movie. Watch it. Watch it today.

    A MUST WATCH

    This is absolutely brilliant and a MUST WATCH for anyone who still eats pigs and isn't vegan. It's also perfect for anyone who wants to find out more about how the pork industry works in the UK. Not only does Pignorant expose the UK pork industry, but it also exposes the RSPCA, Red Tractor and free-range pig farming. If you like animals, it will be really interesting as it's packed full of information about pigs that most people won't know. If you decide to skip watching Pignorant, you're definitely missing out.

    A big, big thank you to Joey Carbstrong, Dan Sheppard, Tarion Partridge and the rest of the team involved in making this incredible documentary.

    Outstanding! A film no one should ignore.

    This film is an amazing exposé of the pig industry not only in the UK, but in many other parts of the world as well. All consumers must watch this and learn the truth about what they are funding, instead of staying "pignorant" and continuing to be part of the problem.

    On top of being extremely informative, the stories and interviews in 'Pignorant' are highly engaging and gripping. The passion shown by Joey and his team throughout the documentary is highly tangible and compelling.

    It's an emotional film but also very inspiring because it shows us how much power we have as individuals to solve this problem.
