Recommendations

Documentaries

I do not recommend documentaries that I would characterize as traumatizing, shocking for the sake of shock, or repulsive. These recommendations come from the heart in a genuine attempt to connect with people and to uncover the intersectionalities that exist relative to animal exploitation, including issues of racism, sexism, classism, capitalism, speciesism, and the powerfully dangerous world of the most influential lobbyists.
