Film:
Peaceable Kingdom |
Peaceable Kingdom – the full length film will be shown. From the creators of the award-winning documentary, The Witness, this is the second film in the Tribe of Heart anthology, which presents concerns focusing on leaders in the field of farm animal reform. 77 min.
At a time when the public is more concerned than ever about the health and environmental problems associated with large-scale factory farming, Peaceable Kingdom explores another angle of this unfolding story: the interconnected life journeys of farm animals, former farmers, and animal rescuers struggling against an out of control industrial system.
Breaking generations of silence in the farm community, Peaceable Kingdom weaves together themes of respect, forgiveness, commitment, and healing, offering a vision of a more peaceful world that is well within our reach.
