DESCRIPTION:Modern farms are struggling to keep a secret. Most of the animals used for 
 food in the United States are raised in giant, bizarre “factory farms,” 
 hidden deep in remote areas of the countryside. Speciesism: The Movie 
 director Mark Devries set out to investigate.  The documentary takes 
 viewers on a sometimes funny, sometimes frightening adventure, crawling 
 through the bushes that hide these factories, flying in airplanes above 
 their toxic “manure lagoons,” and coming face-to-face with their 
 owners.\n\nBut this is just the beginning. In 1975, a young writer 
 published a book arguing that no justifications exist for considering 
 humans more important than members of other species.  It slowly began to 
 gain attention. Today, a quickly growing number of prominent individuals 
 and political activists are adopting its conclusions. They have termed the 
 assumption of human superiority speciesism. And, as a result, they rank 
 these animal factories among the greatest evils in our history. Speciesism: 
 The Movie brings viewers face-to-face with the leaders of this developing 
 movement, and, for the first time ever on film, fully examines the purpose 
 of what they are setting out to do.\n\nGuest Speakers from SF Vegetarian
