[edit] Synopsis

Earthlings is a documentary about human dependence on non-human animals for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and use in experimentation.

Phoenix has commented on the documentary that "Of all the films I have ever made, this is the one that gets people talking the most. For every one person who sees Earthlings, they will tell three." [2]

Peter Singer said "If I could make that everybody see a film, I would make them see Earthlings".[3]
