Lucent

A deeply moving and highly informative expose of the Australian pig industry. Lucent tells the story you need to hear and shows the images you need to see. Factually presented with irrefutable video evidence from 50 different pig farms,you will not be able to question nor deny the truth ever again. You will, however, question why these things are allowed to continue. The light has been shone on an horrific industry. Lucent also reveals similar issues with all animal agriculture, including cattle and dairy, sheep, chickens, ducks and turkeys. The narration successfully educates the viewer with informative and emotive content. Superbly directed, Lucent is a film that will remain in your thoughts long after the credits have rolled.

I live in the UK and have had many vegan you tubers mention this film so thought I would give it a go. I've watched a lot of clips and videos of UK farming so didn't expect to see anything new or shocking in this film. Lucent walks you through the pigs industry in Australia from pregnancy, birth, growth and finally slaughter. There was nothing new that I hadn't seen before but that's what made it worse in so many ways. The majority of society find it acceptable to treat pigs and other animals this way, they form part of a production line like they're a non descript item like a table rather than a sentient being that suffers and feels pain. From the artificial insemination, mutilation of the piglets, filthy and tiny conditions, physical abuse to the eventual slaughter it makes grim watching. I think this is an excellent documentary that should be compulsory viewing for everyone that enjoys a bacon sandwich or pork chop, it may make people rethink things a little.

Watched it and it made me so angry that humans do such things to these innocent creatures. We as humanity have failed miserably on this planet and would be the main reason for the next extinction if it happens. Compassion is what should drive us. Ignoring this cruelty is not the answer. Humans should unite and spread more awareness on this issue. If anyone wants to further know what the consequences of pig farming and in general animal farming is watch the video of 1.4 million pigs and many more chicken being buried alive in South Korea. This is what we as humans have done to other species. These videos are on Youtube, those pigs we crying in agony but humans just don't care. This corporate world is just money no matter how much suffering is involved.

This is an very excellent documentary bringing light upon a very important, yet ignored, topic not only in Australia but also around the world. It was not an easy watch, but it was a truthful documentary. It was emotionally moving as the documentary exposes the meat industry that many Australians and people around the globe don't know about, yet participate in every single day. The cinematography was well done in this movie. The documentary was extremely well put together, easy to follow. The narration was deeply moving. Overall it is a very good documentary. The duration was just the right length. I highly recommend everybody watch it and educate yourselves.

Humans are compassionate but nature. They are also ignorant, have herd mentality and are easily brainwashed at young age. If you have an ounce of compassion for the animals, but still eat meat, please watch this.
