Dominion

This movie is very hard to watch for any conscious human being. For the first time in my life I wish a movie would not exist, not because it is bad but because it shows evil. Evil from humanity that tries to act with moral values but somehow accepts this.

I can't picture myself eating animal products again after watching this. Certain pictures just wont disappear and I don't even want to talk about them.

This is the most important film you will ever watch. This documentary is a shocking expose of hidden violence behind our food system. Dozens of people had to step out of the theater where I saw it in San Francisco because they could not face the actual real-life footage of what happens behind the walls of animal farms and slaughterhouses. The filmmaker had his house raided by the Australian government and faced repeated threats for releasing this footage. This documentary is going to turn the world upside-down.

I was one of those people who tried to distance myself from documentaries like this one. I was too afraid to face the cruel reality that had been going on "behind the scenes" for far too long.

One night I was searching IMDB for highly rated documentaries and decided to watch Dominion from beginning to end without facing away.

I always knew that animals were treated cruelly just because humans chose to use their "products." But I didn't know the insane level of absurdity to which it rose. I never imagined that the level of cruelty and horror would be so great.

Thanks to Dominion, I was finally able to free myself from the disconnect that had been inside me for so long. I have always praised myself for being an incredibly empathic and loving person, but supporting animal abuse is the exact opposite of that. Unfortunately, it took me 20 years to finally realize this, but thanks to Dominion, I finally was able to.

I recommend everyone watch the movie, even if it's hard. If you use animal products, you should at least know what is going on in their cruel lives and what tortures countless and innocent creatures have to suffer. Only after being aware of this, one is able to decide if one can still live with directly supporting animal cruelty.

It is important to overcome this detachment that is imposed on us by society. Because I believe that most of us are compassionate enough to stop the harm they cause directly.

This documentary will open your eyes to the truth about the 'food' you choose to eat. It explodes the myth of 'humane slaughter', show the reality of 'free range' and every day farm practices and animal agriculture in Australia, but common around the world, as well as some other practices that occur in other countries to bring us in the West, our 'creature comforts' like down pillows and fur coats.

The undercover footage that was bravely obtained by activists and painstakingly put together for this film, along with the drone footage, has some of the most moving and powerful scenes portraying the suffering and horror that is the life and death of farmed animals.

Especially if you still consume animal products, have the courage to watch this film and see if your choice to do so really stacks up as a good reason to do something that requires so much suffering, and creates so much waste, greenhouse gases and poor human health outcomes.

I went to see a free screening of this after being urged by a friend who is vegan. I came up with every excuse to avoid watching it until I gave into peer pressure... It's a gruelling 2 hours with no apologies made for its transparency. It'll rip you open and make you question your morals, beliefs and everything you were taught was normal in society. On the plus side, I've found vegan food isn't that bad after all!! Definitely recommend that everyone watch this, but it's not for the faint hearted.
