If a kid ever realized what was involved in factory farming, they would never touch meat again.
I’m an animal rights activist because I believe we won’t have a planet if we continue to behave toward other species the way we do.
A vital film that needed to be made at this point in history and has been made magnificently.
We don’t need to eat anyone who would run, swim, or fly away if he could.

There is something intrinsically, systemically wrong with white, western culture, and if we don’t fix it, it won’t continue.
All of them – my father, mother, step-mother, and grandmother – were all wonderful actors and performers and they are an inspiration to me, both in their craft and in their humanity.
