- DirectorTom SimonSarah TealeStarsPeteBradley MillerBob BakerDeath on a Factory Farm follows the undercover investigation of Wiles Hog Farm by the animal rights group: The Humane Farming Association (HFA), and the resulting court case against it. The organization received a tip from an employee at the farm that animals were being abused, including a claim that hogs were being hung by chains and strangled to death as a form of euthanasia. Horrifying but true. HFA then turned to an undercover investigator going by the name "Pete." The investigator wore a hidden camera while he worked undercover as a farmhand at Wiles. Over the course of six weeks, the investigator secretly filmed numerous incriminating scenes, including piglets being tossed into crates from across a room, impregnated sows held in pens impeded their ability to move, an unhealthy piglet being hit against a wall to euthanize it, and a sick sow being hung by a chain from a forklift until it choked to death. Having obtained this evidence, Pete concluded the investigation and quit the job at the farm. HFA brought Pete's footage to the Wayne County Sheriff's Department, which then raided the farm. Prosecutors filed ten criminal charges of animal cruelty against the farm's owners, and a farm employee who participated in hanging the sow. In the subsequent trial, the prosecutors and the defense fought about the legality and morality of these practices, described by the presiding judge as "distasteful and offensive". However, the Judge defended these practices as the reality of producing pork for consumption. Disgusting!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viPvd4nJJ04

- DirectorJenny SteinStarsHarold BrownCheri Ezell-VandersluisHoward LymanPeaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home explores the powerful struggle of conscience experienced by several people from traditional farming backgrounds who come to question the basic assumptions of their way of life. A riveting story of transformation and healing, the documentary portrays the farmers' sometimes amazing connections with the animals under their care, while also providing insight into the complex web of social, psychological and economic forces that have led to their inner conflict. Interwoven with the farmers' stories is the dramatic animal rescue work of a newly-trained humane police officer whose sense of justice puts her at odds with the law she is charged to uphold. With strikingly honest interviews and rare footage demonstrating the emotional lives and intense family bonds of animals most often viewed as living commodities, this groundbreaking documentary shatters stereotypical notions of farmers, farm life, and perhaps most surprisingly, farm animals themselves.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlIqhI3xPFc

- DirectorShannon KeithStarsShane BarbiSia BarbiEd Begley Jr.Fur is sexy, beautiful, sensuous and luxurious. Nothing feels better against your skin, and beautiful, sexy, successful people wear it. Fur is also environmentally friendly and is therefore a sustainable resource. These are the campaigns the fur industry uses to get people to commit the ultimate atrocities permitted against animals. Consumers are misled by retailers who assure them that animals used for fur are humanely euthanized, intentionally hiding the reality of how the animals are hideously killed. Step inside the world of SKIN TRADE. Hundreds of hours of interviews with insiders, designers, leaders and celebrities compiled in a heart punching documentary directed and produced by award winning director Shannon Keith. This film lends a voice to the voiceless whose skin is ripped from them while often still alive. Understand what makes this savage industry tick and what it will take to change it. Whether you are a fan of fur or repulsed by the thought, you owe it to yourself to watch this moving peek inside the dark world of ugly glamour and painful beauty.

- DirectorJavier BurgosStarsBob BarkerJavier BurgosRobert S.

- DirectorOliver KyrStarsMartin BlakeChrista BlankeGieri Bolliger"Do animals have Civil Rights?" An unusual and provoking question. We, the Pegasus family, have travelled more than 12.000 kilometers throughout Europe to give voice to the animals of this world. The animals ask; animal activists, lawyers, vegan chefs, sanctuary founders and business professionals had to answer. Dr. Antoine F. Goetschel (Global Animal Law), Paul Watson (Sea Shepherd), Dr. Jane Goodall, Dr. Edmund Haferbeck (PETA), Christa Blanke (Animals' Angels), Garret John LoPorto (Civil Rights activist) and many more can be heard and seen in our film. Our filming started in the small Spanish village Trigueros del Valle where, in July 2015, mayor Pedro Perez Espinosa decided to grant Civil Rights to the animals of his village. Deciding to do this quest deliberately in a naive way, we were trying to find answers for the questions of the animals. We ourselves are learning, a development that takes the audience into the journey. Instead of just indoctrinating. Our own thoughts on animals' rights are the golden thread and thus connect the off speakers and the animals. In Graz (Southern Austria) we even met two free-learning families, whose children surprised us with their own approach towards the rights of the animals.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdiYKehmTiw
- DirectorChristopher Dillon QuinnStarsNatalie PortmanBruce FriedrichPete KaiserAn examination of our dietary choices and the food we put in our bodies. Based on Jonathan Safran Foer's memoir.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzYeGsdO980
- DirectorEd AntojaStarsEd AntojaPatrik BaboumianMarc BekoffEd is commissioned a documentary intending to change the habits of society that are detrimental to animals. But completely alien to the animal-loving culture; he will realize that to carry it out, he must first convince himself.
- StarsGene BaurLorri BaustonMarc BekoffA wonderful documentary for viewers of all ages about the thinking and feeling of animals that we all too often see as nothing more than food.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=524JoqSlBW0
- DirectorDon McCorkellStarsJoanne BurkholderLarry CahoonParris N. GlendeningThis heart-stopping documentary exposes a huge health and environmental scandal in our modern industrial system of meat and poultry production. Some scientists have gone so far as to condemn current factory farms as Mini Chernobyls. In the U.S. and elsewhere, the meat and poultry industry is dominated by dangerous uses of arsenic, antibiotics, growth hormones and by the dumping of massive amounts of sewage in fragile waterways and environments. The film documents the vast catastrophic impact their practices have on the environment and public health, as well as the individual lives damaged and destroyed.
- DirectorManu CoemanStarsMarcio AstriniYves BergerMarie-Françoise BrizardMeat production increases every year, but many people still have no idea what's on their plate or what it has taken to get it there. "We eat meat, but killing animals doesn't really happen," says philosopher Florence Burgat. She is one of the many experts who have their say in director Manu Coeman's fierce indictment of the industrialized meat industry. LoveMEATender is packed with facts and figures, particularly in the first half, presented through clear comparisons and playful animations. The objective is to demonstrate the consequences of our excessive meat consumption: for the animals, for the earth, but also for our own bodies. Even people with very tough skin will have to swallow hard when seeing some of Coeman's shots. Chicks that are chucked down a funnel with a thud, floundering cows at a slaughterhouse, geese having food violently forced down their throats. Yet at the same time, LoveMEATender isn't a pessimistic film. Coeman's approach is hopeful, and he also shows us how things could be done differently.
- DirectorCarla LopezStarsAna María AboglioRandall CannonJhonny ObandoAnimal suffering is perhaps one of the most complex ethical questions that we can ask our self's and through the experience, activism and hopes of those who discover they can change the world one bit at a time, we look for answers to the important questions as you may be enrage or educated. Voices from the Abyss look at the people who are fighting to bring about much needed change and expose the mistreatment of animals in our society.
- DirectorPhilippe RadaultThis film proposes placing the audience on the side of the living animal, during its short stay in a big modern slaughterhouse. From there, it could be that the sensations, emotions and intuitions experienced by mammals appear to us as strangely familiar.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u06gSp8gXYY
- DirectorLukasz MusialAdam PtaszynskiStarsXavier BayleEdyta Biernat-KaluzaDariusz GzyraAn independent documentary showing different faces of the relation between humans and other species. Who are the animals and what place do they occupy in modern society? Why are they killed in uncounted amounts? Why are they imprisoned and sentenced to unnecessary pain although they want to live, they want to be free and they want to avoid suffering as much as we do? How does the objectification of animals reflect on inter-human relations? If the answer is THEY'RE ONLY ANIMALS, then what does it mean to be human?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBOVAB4WaTc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqX1iVYAtNQ - DirectorGil GolanStarsTal GilboaOmer GinzburgMiriam GoldinThe story of the most famous vegan in Israel, following her transition from an anonymous pamphlet distributer to the vegan movement leadership.

The more her struggle progresses, the more she becomes extreme in her views, and alienates those closest to her.
