One of the best. Happy with how mainstream this went compared to other similar documentaries.
This film changed my life. Between the excessive sobbing and pausing I stopped animal consumption in every form. Watch this, please. Please.
This doc changed my life and my decisions. EVERYONE should watch this. I wish it would be shown in schools and work places.
Brutal, beyond disturbing “movie”, impossible to recommend even though it’s a well made and does exactly what it sets out to do.
Don’t watch unless you’re prepared to reevaluate your life decisions.
Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY should watch this film. Its the least we can do. Its our obligation.
A must-watch not only for animal rights activists, but for everybody.
Incredibly hard to watch. But such a wake up call. Too many people are ignorant about where there food comes from. Whatch this. Find out.
Must watch for anyone interested on animal rights. It shows disturbing footage with a purpose
Upsetting yet numbing well-made documentary showing the cruelty animals are subjected to. A must-see - but perhaps only once.
