Overview

Stories about animals and the people who help them: a successful community effort to protect migrating toads, the 1983 protests that ignited the modern day animal rights movement, a kitten rescued from the middle of a busy road, a visit to a factory pig farm. There are also tributes to animal rights philosopher Prof. Tom Regan, singer/pianist/composer (and animal activist) Laura Nyro and Sen.

Brilliant, passionate, funny -- a mind like a... humane mouse trap! Maria Florio/EARTHWORKS FILMS Academy Award best documentary feature: Broken Rainbow Shields exhorts the political left to support justice for nonhuman animals, as both a moral imperative and as an indispensable strategy in the struggle for global justice. Dr. David Nibert, Professor of Sociology, Wittenberg University Word wizardry across an array of styles and moods: scathing satires, bonafide tear jerkers, photo essays, poems and surprising detours, including a harrowing scene in a mental institution and a very funny job interview. The highlight is a 'seance' in the towering tribute 'The Laura Nyro Incarnations.' Anteneh Roba, MD/co-founder, International Fund for Africa
