Speciesism surprised me in many good ways. This is not just a film about animals and food, it's a film about how we look at our relationship to nature. It differs from other documentaries because it picks very specific themes and explores them; meaning I did not leave the movie feeling like I was overloaded with facts and it's so much that I am paralyzed with where to go next. Speciesim was delivered in an open minded dialog giving all parties the option to explain their method. It stayed unbiased and didn't paint emotional characters of anyone who participated. I highly recommend that everyone see this film. It's quietly powerful and easy to follow.

The term 'speciesism' is rather new, but the meaning of it certainly is not new at all. This movie is a great film for anyone, especially those who are new to the truth about what animals suffer or who do not believe that the factory farm industry is hiding anything. A great film, and well worth double the price. Should be shown to every elementary, middle, and high school, and college student in America. This movie has a gentler approach to explaining the realities of the sentient-beings-as-food production industry than many films which, while excellent and thorough in their content, sometimes cause people to turn off the movie because they are so disgusted by the truth. Of special note in this film is a short clip featuring the author's father. Very sweet -- it brought tears to my eyes.

This film was extremely educational for both me (a vegetarian of 9 years) and my friend who accompanied me (not a vegetarian). The honesty and rawness of the film is convincing and reassuring. While it was a low-budget film and isn't of great quality in cinematic aspects, it is amazingly accurate and the information is composed well. Approaching the argument from an outside view was refreshing, as well as the intellectual underpinnings presented throughout the entire film. The interviews with professors, researchers, officials, and the general public were both the most informational parts of the documentary as well as the funniest parts of the film. I felt like this film did animal rights documentaries justice and provides a new take on approaching the issue.I would recommend to anyone; it was fantastic.

Fantastic movie that accomplishes what it sets out to do and that is to delve into the question of why we treat some species "special" while we manage to disregard the other billions we are consuming. An engaging film that explores hidden truths in a clever and non- confrontational manner. It's an easy-going ride whose journey unravels like a well plotted mystery. The most surprising answer at the end is what digests in your own mind regarding we human animals vs. the "others" and how it will influence your future choices regarding the foods you eat, the clothes you wear or the type of entertainment you're willing to buy. It's a real mind opener. It challenges preconceived notions about 99% of the world we live in. A must see! Highly recommended!
