This is absolutely brilliant and a MUST WATCH for anyone who still eats pigs and isn't vegan. It's also perfect for anyone who wants to find out more about how the pork industry works in the UK. Not only does Pignorant expose the UK pork industry, but it also exposes the RSPCA, Red Tractor and free-range pig farming. If you like animals, it will be really interesting as it's packed full of information about pigs that most people won't know. If you decide to skip watching Pignorant, you're definitely missing out.
A big, big thank you to Joey Carbstrong, Dan Sheppard, Tarion Partridge and the rest of the team involved in making this incredible documentary.

What has been revealed in this newly-released documentary has just blown my mind completely!
The use of never-before-seen footage and a thrilling narrative only adds to the immense surprise and shock provided for by finding out how thoroughly and consistently we have all been lied to by ostensibly trustworthy government entities. I believe this documentary may cause anyone who watches it to question what they serve their loved ones or put on their own plate while also serving to provide a critical catalytic force for what is much needed change in these industries on which we rely so heavily.
This was such a hard-hitting exposé that I am still recovering from the shock almost an hour after watching. Would highly recommend, this is a certified 10/10!

One of the best documentaries I've seen, I couldn't recommend it to people enough. Don't miss this exceptional work of journalism, storytelling, suspense, editing, exposé, and inspirational messaging.
Pignorant follows animal activist and former gang member Joey Carbstrong and others as they attempt to capture the first ever publicly available footage of how around 90% of pigs are stunned and killed in the UK. Featuring many different interviews and locations Pignorant was able to keep me gripped for the duration of it's runtime despite some of the footage being tough to watch. It was incredibly informative and eye-opening and it's my hope many people see this film as I feel they deserve to know it's contents.

This is your opportunity to be the good person you believe you are. Watch this movie.
This is a documentary that many won't find easy to watch. That's exactly the point. It won't be a happy one. But you have the opportunity to make things better. For you, and for everyone else around you. This movie is for everyone.
Be strong, be honest to yourself. Be really honest. Watch it.
Do not call yourself an animal lover if you disagree. Loving your dog is not analogous to that. This movie is educational, and is about respect. Respect to everyone who wants to live.
Watch this movie. Watch it. Watch it today.

This film is an amazing exposé of the pig industry not only in the UK, but in many other parts of the world as well. All consumers must watch this and learn the truth about what they are funding, instead of staying "pignorant" and continuing to be part of the problem.
On top of being extremely informative, the stories and interviews in 'Pignorant' are highly engaging and gripping. The passion shown by Joey and his team throughout the documentary is highly tangible and compelling.
It's an emotional film but also very inspiring because it shows us how much power we have as individuals to solve this problem.
