Anything that promotes awareness of the fact
that policy change is vital to addressing the terrible state of animal welfare is a positive. That said...
This was an odd documentary.
As I watched, I found myself distracted from the imperative - helping animals - because of how much attention was put on (demanded by?) the well-heeled protagonists.
I was honestly unable to tell whether this film was a self-congratulatory ode to two sisters or a heartfelt film meant to inspire action.
Ultimately, one has to conclude the women mean well and have simply been disconnected from the daily reality of the bottom 99.99% of Americans to know how to relate to viewers. That said, this is unfortunate for a documentary.
Compared to the amazingly powerful "The Cove" - a film that left me mad as hell about Japanese cruelty toward dolphins + told me exactly how to put my checkbook into action to support the cause - "For the animals" simply left me knowing that that two very well-fashioned women in Houston care a lot about dogs (and are supporting a candidate for mayor). The end.
