Speciesism: The Movie

I have worked with non-human animals for over 35 years. I KNOW they all have emotional and intellectual capabilities similar to humans. This film will help to educate those who only think their family pets deserve to live free and treated with compassion and love. I think this movie answers questions humans need to be asking about why we treat our pets different than other animals who feel and think the same.

It will take many years but this film will help change our culture of eating and harming non- human animals to where in time it will be seen as barbaric.

I thank the maker of this movie for his incredible dedication and hard work to add a voice for the voiceless. A MUST see movie if you want to be informed and become a more compassionate human.

Mark Devries did a fantastic job in this documentary. I've seen numerous animal rights documentaries, and this one was quite different. From the beginning he takes the view of everyday people who are hesitant to believe the horrors that happen to animals, or who refuse to grasp it, and then he talks to multiple scholars in the field who persuade you throughout the movie that what is happening is wrong. I've been vegan for many years, and parts of this movie continues to pop into my head everyday. This movie has reinforced the feelings I already had and I am even more outraged that the majority of the world continues to see animals as machines for human use. I think it was great, and I plan on showing this movie to many in my community. I hope it has an everlasting impact on how people perceive and treat non-human animals.

I'm a vegan because I love all animals. I'm also a peaceful animal rights activist. This movie is simple but brilliant! I won't go into detail as I don't want to be a spoiler, but I cannot emphasize enough that this is a must see movie. After watching it you will know the truth , because this movie 'is' the truth. And for those of you who 'truly' love animals but did not know about farm animals suffering this movie will educate you so you can change in order not to contribute to their misery any longer. This movie would be great in schools for children over 13 years old to educate them in compassion. Again, I absolutely love this movie. Thank you Mark for making this truly wonderful movie that is a true gift to all suffering animals and the people out there who love them.

This is an EXCELLENT, must see movie! I highly recommend everyone watch it. The treatment of animals is the biggest social justice issue of our time, and this movie helps the viewer challenge his / her conventional wisdom in a gentle and humble yet very convincing and thought provoking way. There is no blood and minimal graphic content. Rather than using a lot of shocking footage, the director conveys information via interviews with experts in the field as well as with everyday people. I think anyone would be hard pressed not to reevaluate the way they view and use animals in everyday life after watching this movie. This is a very compelling movie that will challenge you to change your paradigm.

This movie has an authenticity that makes it very powerful. The narrator seems sincere and we follow his curiosity to places we would not ordinarily see and then to issues we would not ordinarily consider. We travel with him to factory farms and then to question philosophers, academics, and ordinary people about many aspects of THE social justice issue of our time. There are dark moments and funny moments on a journey to learn for ourselves about factory farms and how we as a society treat non-human animals. Specisism is a well-crafted, thoughtful and inspirational documentary. If you eat, you should see it.
