"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."
