Domínio

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.

'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).

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've seen a lot of horrible footage like these that we can see in this documentary before, but these are beyond imagination and it's an unbelievable compilation of human immorality and cruelty towards animals, itself, nature and earth.

It's a documentary that you can't watch easily, I almost not watched all of its scenes in detail. I just can't.

It's a wonder how we, as human beings can do such things on a global scale.

I always feel proud because I've decided to become a vegan years ago and now, I feel better than ever and I will not look back for even a second, but knowing that all the animals are still being exploited by human beings, is just disgusting and hard to take.

I hope everyone would change their mind about speciesism, animal cruelty and diet.

8.5/10.

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.
