Description: This film asks the difficult question: are animals property to be owned and used by humans as we wish, or are they sentient beings deserving of rights? This award-winning documentary touches on the lives of individual animals as it follows photographer Jo-Anne McArthur on a year-long journey as she photographs animal stories in North America and Europe. Each story is a look into the world of global animal industries including food, fashion, entertainment and research.
