Documentary Film: Earthlings (2003) by Shaun Monson.
Narrated by Joaquin Phoenix.
This event will include an introduction and discussion by Aliberation.
Earthlings
Earthlings is a feature length documentary about humanity’s absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so–called “non–human providers.” The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby.
With an in–depth study into pet stores, puppy mills and animals shelters, as well as factory farms, the leather and fur trades, sports and entertainment industries, and finally the medical and scientific profession, Earthlings uses hidden cameras and never before seen footage to chronicle the day–to–day practices of some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative and thought–provoking, Earthlings is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals, and human economic interests. There are many worthy animal rights films available, but this one transcends the setting. Earthlings cries to be seen. Highly recommended!

Aliberation
Aliberation is a Dublin based Animal Rights/ Abolitionist/ Liberation group. Our aim is to inform the public about respecting the rights that nonhuman animals have: The right not to be murdered; the right to freedom, the right to bodily integrity and the right not to be considered property. To further this aim, our work consists of:
- Changing mentalities and preconceived ideas about animal exploitation.
- Promoting the Vegan Lifestyle.
We promote our aim by sending our message across all spectrums; from a grassroots level to a governmental level. From the PC to the street we actively urge different individuals, shops, businesses, industries and politicians to abolish animal exploitation. We educate the public about respecting animal (both human and nonhuman) rights through literature, events, conversation, video and correspondence, etc.
