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 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.
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'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.

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.

- TriviaThe opening text, without voiceover, is "From beasts we scorn as soulless, in forest, field and den, the cry goes up to witness, the soullessness of men. - M. Frida Hartley". The earliest match appeared in "The Spectator" magazine of London in 1928 within the literary supplement section. M. Frida Hartley published a poem titled "Hymn of Pity for Broken Birds and Beasts" which was composed of five verses of eight lines each. The second verse contained the quoted lines. The first four lines of the said verse are "For creatures of Thy making, Old laws assigned for use, New freedom stands proclaiming, Their rights and our abuse"
