    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 documentary anyone with a heart should see.

    Joey and his team are heroes.

    This documentary had my emotions in tatters and the suspense was gripping.

    Factory farmed animals in the UK suffer through people and organisations letting them down.

    The pig meat industry is barbaric and exposed in this documentary for what it really is behind the slick marketing pushed out behind RSPCA and Red Tractor labels.

    This documentary blows the lid off factory farming and organisations that are supposed to protect animals that are receiving payments and percentage on sales of meat.

    Watch and see the meat trade for what it is, which is nothing short of barbaric and disturbing to see how human beings can do this to animals.

    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.

    Absolutely SHOCKING information in this documentary. Highly recommend!

    What has been revealed in this newly-released documentary has just blown my mind completely!

    The use of never-before-seen footage and a thrilling narrative only adds to the immense surprise and shock provided for by finding out how thoroughly and consistently we have all been lied to by ostensibly trustworthy government entities. I believe this documentary may cause anyone who watches it to question what they serve their loved ones or put on their own plate while also serving to provide a critical catalytic force for what is much needed change in these industries on which we rely so heavily.

    This was such a hard-hitting exposé that I am still recovering from the shock almost an hour after watching. Would highly recommend, this is a certified 10/10!

    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.
