I've been researching media coverage of the animal rights movement for the better part of five years now. This documentary is a real Barn-burner in its relentless focus on this one HUGE story. Every sentient journalist I've taught or met has puffed up their chests and argued they want a story like this one. But hundreds of billions are at stake so they not tackling it like the fearless Chris Hedges did in recent days. Many animal activists tell me I am pissing in the wind writing a critical analysis of corporate media's sparse coverage of these issues. My book, tentatively entitled "The Newsworthy Animal" is a case in point. My Kickstarter campaign has been ignored by animal activists, now acting like mainstream media in protecting their fund raising. Which makes this documentary even more vital. The so called democratic promise of crowd source funding is a very sad joke. But the book will be written and this documentary helps me fashion an even better through-line with its marvelously detailed story. Here's my Kickstarter video, do me a favor and show it to Gramma.
