Earthlings is a documentary about humankind’s relationship with animals used for companionship, food, clothing, entertainment and in experimentation. It takes an in-depth look 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. Using hidden cameras and never before seen footage, the film chronicles the day-to-day practices of some of the largest industries in the world. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking (not intended for children), Earthlings is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals, and human economic interests.
Narrated by Joaquin Phoenix with an original score by musician Moby, this multi-award winning documentary film was written, produced and directed by Shaun Monson and co-produced by Persia White (actress best known for her role in TV sitcom, Girlfriends).
