Dominion

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.

I'm a vegan activist and I've finally seen it last night. Gotta say even I was shocked learning some of the horrifying facts presented in the movie. It takes a lot of courage to watch through the entire movie and I cannot even fathom what an amount of courage and strength was required for the filmmakers and cameramen to infiltrate the industry of horror to obtain the footage. You guys are HEROES!

I know that a lot of vegans and vegan activists haven't seen the Earthlings and are reluctant to see Dominion, simply because they know it all and they think there is no need to scar their minds any further. But I firmly believe that watching the movie is the LEAST we could do. If it is hard for you seeing the movie, imagine how hard it is for the animals that have to live the nightmare. Use this movie to ignite the spark inside of you and join your local activist organization or start one yourself.

Until every cage is free. Go vegan.

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.

'DOMINION': Five Stars (Out of Five)

The new Animal Rights documentary exposing the horrific truths of the animal agriculture industry. It was written and directed by Chris Delforce, who also performed both duties on the 2014 critically acclaimed Australian pig farming documentary 'LUCENT'. The movie is narrated by Joaquin Phoenix (who also famously narrated the 2005 Animal Rights documentary classic 'EARTHLINGS'), Rooney Mara, Sia, Sadie Sink, Katherine von Drachenberg and Delforce himself. I think the film is an absolute masterpiece, that needs to be seen by all!

Delforce and his crew use drones, and handheld cameras (including many hidden ones) to capture the horrors of the modern animal agriculture industry. He explores how different animals are used for food, entertainment, research and clothing, while also posing questions of the morality of using animals in these ways. The film also details how many different types of animals are abused in their own different unique ways, while Phoenix and others narrate this information. The title of course comes from humankind's belief that we have dominion over non-human animals.

The movie is extremely comprehensive and educational. For those who know very little about animal agriculture, this film should blow them away. I'd say it's even more thorough, in it's detailed information, than 'EARTHLINGS'. I don't think it's quite as classic as that all-time masterpiece though (in my opinion). It is just as hard to watch though, and emotionally shocking, so of course it'll be really hard to get non-vegans to watch it too. If they can be talked into it though, I think this movie could be groundbreaking in that movement. It's arguably one of the most important films ever made (in my opinion at least).

I went to see the film in a free event in my local city without knowing what it was about, the movie started and only ten minutes after I saw it my only impulse was to run away and forget what my eyes saw. I was with my girlfriend and she who is a vegetarian helped me to stay and see her completely. I have always thought that this type of vegan movements etc have some kind of fanaticism, but after seeing those images I can not simply deny reality, we live in a society that not only ignores but denies and rationalizes this horror story of which we are all participate I can not find any difference between what we are currently doing to the animals, with any nationalist or slavery regime of the past. I deeply thank those who were part of this film, although it has very strong images, unfortunately it is the only way we can get out of this ignorance in which we live and start to change.
