How humans can and do treat other animals - other earthlings.

Essential for understanding what is happening to other earthlings across the planet each and every day that is done by humans.
Essential for understanding the consequences of continuing these practices by humans.

Also the recent movie Food, Inc is worth watching. After watching Food, Inc watch Earthlings to see what was left out of Food Inc. that needs to be said clearly too, not hidden away.

Not knowing what is actually happening allows further harm to animals - other earthlings.

More importantly, there are beautiful scenes of animals alive and well, along with compelling scenes that each person's daily personal choices can contribute to (or not), showing what can be stopped right now - today.

If nothing else watch the last few minutes of only beautiful animal scenes and words to consider on being kind to animals, on being kind to one another.

Starting viewing the last few minutes of the film by moving the viewer slider to after 1:26:35.
For some people this may be a good place to start the movie.

These last few minutes are well worth watching and considering.

EARTHLINGS is an award-winning documentary film about the suffering of animals for food, fashion, pets, entertainment and medical research.

Considered the most persuasive documentary ever made, EARTHLINGS is nicknamed “the Vegan maker” for its sensitive footage shot at animal shelters, pet stores, puppy mills, factory farms, slaughterhouses, the leather and fur trades, sporting events, circuses and research labs.

The film is narrated by Academy Award® nominee Joaquin Phoenix and features music by platinum-selling recording artist Moby.

Initially ignored by distributors, today EARTHLINGS is considered the definitive animal rights film by organizations around the world. “Of all the films I have ever made, this is the one that gets people talking the most,” said Phoenix. “For every one person who sees EARTHLINGS, they will tell three.”

In 1999, writer/producer/director Shaun Monson began work on a series of PSAs about spaying and neutering pets. The footage he shot at animal shelters around Los Angeles affected him so profoundly that the project soon evolved into EARTHLINGS.

The film would take another six years to complete because of the difficulty in obtaining footage within these profitable industries. Though the film was initially ignored by distributors, who told Monson that the film would “never see the light of day and should be swept under the rug,” today EARTHLINGS  is considered the definitive animal rights film by organizations around the world.

Nation Earth was established to produce documentary films on socially urgent issues. EARTHLINGS, released in 2005, was the company's first feature film and is the first of a documentary trilogy. The company is currently at work on the second installment, UNITY, which will explore the unifying force of consciousness found in nature, animals and humankind. UNITY is scheduled to be completed in 2009. For more information please see www.unitythemovie.com
