    A brilliant film that will help end animal cruelty worldwide!

    Bless God and all involved in the creation of SLAY for so brilliantly revealing the hidden cruelty, trickery and lies that have gone unchecked in fashion for far too long.

    As confronting as it is to face the gore behind the 'glamour', it's time to know the truth. I consider myself a relatively well-informed individual but knew little about the extent to which systematic and utterly unnecessary abuse - to animals, the planet, humans - is inherent in the leather, fur and wool industries.

    The Innocent - billions of them, including babies, suffering right now - cannot speak up for themselves. SLAY is their voice. May it be watched, shared and acted on far and wide and urgently. The animals need us!

    After having seen this film you will see fashion with different eyes

    The film shows the great disconnect between the shiny glamorous world of fashion and the cruel and destructive practices of this industry. It unveils how animals, workers and the environment is treated through the whole "value" chain. It is rather a "chain of cruelties".

    This documentary analyzes how most of the big brands are trying to make us believe the fairy tale that what we buy is sustainable and was produced under fair conditions. Every day we consume food or fashion we make choices. After having seen this movie you will may be rethink your daily choices and leave out all animal products.

    The film takes you on a trip through five continents behind the scenes of fur, leather and wool producers. You meet activists with breathtaking messages, infographics explain complex topics graphically and the soundtrack is amazing. For me, SLAY is the most emotional documentary film - it get's under your skin.

    Eye-Opening

    Great demonstration of what is happening. Entertaining, in the format, and chilling in the content.

    It's great to have access and see what is happening "behind the scene". It walks you through different businesses and different continents looking for the source of what we wear everyday, what we have on our skin.

    And it does a very good job in getting under our skin.

    Hopefully more brands and citizens will see this documentary to be better informed, and take better decisions for their future (and ours).

    I sent the link to watch it to several of my friends to spread the knowledge. After learning more about what we put in our plates, it is high time we know more about what we put on ourselves.

    Incredibly powerful, informative and provokes change

    A worthwhile watch for anyone wanting to understand these industries, the truth behind what we wear and how we live. Emotional, empathetic and visually a very well done film by a passionate team. Especially poignant following the journey of filmmaker Rebecca from fashion lover to animal rights activism. This film has been thought about thoroughly - it was factual whilst also telling a story, one of which without a happy ending but leaves you feeling like we can and must do more to protect the animals, our planet, and humans involved in the production of materials. The world is changing and it's amazing to see people so passionate to pushing the change. Very well done.

    Uncomfortable but important viewing

    Another Inconvenient Truth, Slay diligently unpacks a compelling case against animals in fashion. Fur, wool, leather are shown as being far from 'natural' by the time they are on our clothes or accessories and the revelations of animal - and human - suffering are shocking and distressing. But this is no 'outside' job wanting to kick the fashion industry - this film is by the fashion industry and for it and its kinder future. The film may be laser sharp in exposing the cruelty hidden in our clothes but it also shines a light on the hopeful way forward. An uncomfortable but important must-see film.
