Pignorant

I've never seen a documentary that is educational, sad, enraging, funny, cute, and suspenseful... all at the same time. Pignorant is all of these things.

My girlfriend and I were discussing after we watched it, and one thing that stuck out was how well it protected its scope as well as covered all of the details within. If you're looking to learn pretty much everything you need to know about pigs and how we treat them - this is it.

I didn't cry for 15 years before watching this last night. The sound, the images, the story, the absolutely immenseness and pervasiveness of it all was too much for this grown man to handle.

Thank you for your sacrifices and work, Joey and team.

I would recommend this to anyone. Especially those open minded people who want to get a better understanding of the world.

Watching this was like a rollercoster of emotions, thoughts and questions. There were so many things I learned and realized from watching this.

This made me question a lot of things I've never thought about or naturally just taken for granted as a truth.

The title is good as it refers to the word "ignorant". That's exactly how I felt I was before watching this.

I've seen a lot of Joey's work before. His story, dedication and willpower says a lot.

You will not regret watching this, but you might regret something else. Something you will become aware of after watching it.

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.

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.

Animal lovers can't miss this documentary, it's essential.

Joey Carbstrong, an ex-gang member turned animal rights activist puts his life on the line, literally, he risks his life, to show the world what the meat industry has been desperately trying to hide. The documentary has multiple moments that will leave you shocked, appalled, and disgusted in what humans are capable of, and possibly even more shocked by how well humans can lie about it.

The documentary is very well made, with a strong story that carries you through from beginning to end, and what an end it is. The big reveal comes with a combination of excitement, apprehension, and deep sorrow. The documentary balances entertainment and tension with the sobering reality of what they are uncovering.

Surprisingly, there is some comic relief, especially from Dan when discussing the situations he found himself in while preparing for the actions in this documentary. But the take away from this film is clear to anyone who watches it; we can't go on like this, and the animals certainly can't.

We need to come together and make a change for these poor animals, we need to come together and say never again, never again will we let these things happen to innocent, defenceless beings.

Thank you Joey, Tarion, Dan and the entire Pignorant team for risking it all to expose the truth. The world thanks you, and so would the animals if they could.
