Modern farms are struggling to keep a secret. Most of the animals used for food in the United States are raised in giant, bizarre factories, hidden deep in remote areas of the countryside. Speciesism: The Movie director Mark Devries set out to investigate. The documentary takes viewers on a sometimes funny, sometimes frightening adventure, crawling through the bushes that hide these factories, flying in airplanes above their toxic manure lagoons, and coming face-to-face with their owners.

ThiefHott Too much of everything
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Mr Stuart D Egan My girlfriend and I watched this film and really enjoyed it. The film maker's approach is open and honest as he investigates how we treat non-human (and indeed human) animals. The viewer follows the film maker on his journey of discovery, and sees him learn some truly shocking facts about modern factory farming. While serious and challenging topics are discussed, and in some places the film maker finds himself in some very awkward situations, the film maker is always polite and pleasant to his interviewees, and simply tries to understand their view. One of the highlights for us was the section with Gary Francione. He explains the philosophy of the harm principle in such a simple and easy to understand way it could be a real "a-ha" moment for the viewer (as indeed it seems to be for the film maker). Highly recommended.
eliote Speciesism surprised me in many good ways. This is not just a film about animals and food, it's a film about how we look at our relationship to nature. It differs from other documentaries because it picks very specific themes and explores them; meaning I did not leave the movie feeling like I was overloaded with facts and it's so much that I am paralyzed with where to go next. Speciesim was delivered in an open minded dialog giving all parties the option to explain their method. It stayed unbiased and didn't paint emotional characters of anyone who participated. I highly recommend that everyone see this film. It's quietly powerful and easy to follow.
grandadlovessoup The most forward thinking and revolutionary documentary film I have ever seen (and I have seen A LOT). Make sure you stick out the first half as it takes a while for the documentary to get going. Initially I just thought it was another typical documentary of it's kind until the second half began. I have been well and truly blown away. Please make sure you watch this documentary all the way through. It really is incredible. It will change the way you think and possibly change your life. It is so revolutionary in it's ideas and theories. I urge anyone to go Vegan if you are already a vegetarian, it will change your life for the better and open up a world of food you didn't even know about.
Roger Sanchez Humans tend to think of themselves as superior for the most part. We are not: our callousness for allowing our society for force itself to think of animals as our 'supply-and-demand' bucket is shown in all its disgusting glory in full-force on this documentary. Supplement this with other videos/blogs/articles/news/etc. detailing the atrocities we subject our counterpart equals (yes, animals - all of them) to.Animals are here with us to teach us compassion, love, and to live life from beginning to end with their families and how they choose. If you don't believe otherwise and still choose to blindly subject yourself to modern-day inexcusable cannibalism (unknowingly, unwillingly or otherwise), this documentary can help you out should you need any guidance for an open heart.This may not me much of a review more than it's a personal view of wanting anyone who needs some clarification to watch this for the sake of animal's lives - they are counting on your decision :)
