Earthlings is the most accurate and detailed documentary I've ever seen that looks at how humans use other animals. I often describe it as absolutely horrible, but completely true. If you're not yet vegan I strongly encourage that you watch it just to be aware of the impact that your choices make. Much of the reason people use animals is because of how easy it is to forget that they are in fact living breathing individuals that can be in pain and do suffer from our choices. Not only is Earthlings informative but it helps us remember just exactly what we are paying for.
Earthlings is narrated by Joaquin Pheonix (who has been vegan since he was 3) and looks at how animals are used as pets, as food, for clothing, for entertainment and for experimentation.
You can watch it for free online at: earthlings.com
We screened it twice as a club last year and have had it playing at a few of our tabling sessions. If you're interested in watching it with other club members let us know so that we can make sure to have more screenings next year.
If you watched it and have any comments feel free to post!

I am interested in watching it but I am also horrified to watch it. From what I hear I feel you need to be mentally ready before you see this documentary. Don't mean to scare others away but that is just my impression.
