I urge EVERYONE to watch this movie, regardless of any opinion you already have concerning what is "more important" right now, what you think you "have to have" and what you think you know about eating meat and animal rights. If you're strong in your opinions, this will only bolster you or be completely ineffective, but you might learn something either way.

We are all Earthlings.

"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.” "

That last statement is true, and I wonder what the statistic is on people who never ever ate meat again after watching this movie. I have been told it had that effect on 5 people personally.
