A Sacred Duty

A documentary film targeting meat eating as a global threat.
Promotes pure vegetarianism and environmental activism.
The film reinforces the messages in Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" and Leonardo DiCaprio's "The Eleventh Hour" about the dangers of global warming. However, it goes beyond these films by showing how religious responses can make a major difference and why a shift towards plant-based diets is an essential part of efforts to reduce global climate change and other environmental threats. It aslo challenges people to recognize how the production and consummption of meat contradict basic religious teachings about preserving human health, treating animals with compassion, protecting the environment, conserving natural resources and helping hungry people around the world. The film can be seen on You Tube and ASacredDuty.com

The Earthlings

Narrated by Academy Award Nominee Joaquin Phoenix and featuring music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby, EARTHLINGS is a documentary film about humankind's complete economic dependence on animals raised for pets, food, clothing, entertainment and scientific research. Using hidden cameras and never-before-seen footage, EARTHLINGS chronicles the day-to-day practices of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative, controversial and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals and human economic interests.
"Three primary life forces exist on this planet: Nature, Animals, and Humankind. We are the Earthlings. MAKE THE CONNECTION"

Duration: 1 hr
