Speciesism“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.”
