The Animal People releases today on iTunes, Amazon, and most cable television providers’ on demand services. It’s hard to reflect on my once hopeless moments in prison and internalize that 10 years later this story would become a film that, God willing, has some positive impact on the way we treat animals, each other, and the environment we share. . I hope that folks watch it with an open mind, use it as a roadmap for your own thoughtful and tireless advocacy, and then encourage others to do the same. . #TheAnimalPeople, #Documentary, #iTunes, #SHAC7, #JoaquinPhoenix (at Huntington Life Sciences) https://www.instagram.com/p/B55xGUsH_6W/?igshid=1jenqp97qm7uo

I just got back from 3 days of screenings and promotion for ‘The Animal People.’ I don’t think anything could have prepared me for the upwelling of complicated feelings associated with the release of this movie. It was a joy seeing so many old friends and activist accomplices and at the same time it was extremely difficult immersing myself in footage of some of my saddest and scariest memories. I cried a lot, wiped my tears, answered questions as best I could, did my best to eschew accolades and my best to underscore that the hundreds of amazing activists who attended this weekend’s events are the heroes the animals suffering in laboratories need right now. On Saturday Jake, Josh, Will and I joined Joaquin Phoenix and the documentary’s directors and producers as the film closed the Santa Monica Film Festival. The film won the award for best of festival. At the following day’s screening I was amazed by the outpouring of so many heroic activist collaborators from my past. It was humbling to see all of you, it would be impossible to list everyone here but please know you all help to keep this fire alive; and in a very literal sense, many of you helped me to survive my time in prison. I am so thankful for each of you for that. The film is heavy as fuck and will likely make you cry, but it also does a very good job of explaining in 90 minutes what actually happened when a handful of friends ransacked the warchest of a multinational cooperation that peddled in wanton animal abuse. You can preorder it via iTunes and Amazon now and it will be available on video on demand services starting on December 10th —other streaming services will follow shortly thereafter.

While on a trip last month to Los Angeles to table at the 2011 Animal Rights Conference and to shoot scenes for the upcoming SHAC7 movie, Gary Smith of The Thinking Vegan Blog met up with me and shot this interview. Gary asked some great questions and let me rail on capitalism which is awesome because most animal welfare bloggers shy away from anti-capitalist dialogue. The interview touches on the SHAC campaign, veganism, and connecting social struggles.
