Our latest addition is this trailer for a powerful independent feature film documentary on the animal rights movement from SHAC to Peta, the ALF and the FBI's declaration that animal rights activists are a greater terrorist threat to the USA than Al Quaeda. Featuring key figures like Josh Harper and Kevin Kjonaas with celebrity comment from Jessica Biel, Katherine Heigl, Kaley Cuoco, Joss Stone and James Cromwell. Funded by a political lobbyist to criticise Peta indie filmmakers Curt Johnson and Maura Flynn decided to give the activists a fair hearing leading to a long courtroom battle. A critically acclaimed independent film with 91% at Rotten Tomatoes it continues to cause controversy, getting pulled from DVD stores after pressure on major retailers from food industry lobbyists; you can still get a copy direct from distributors Halo-8 and check out the latest work from Curt Johnson's Indie Genius Productions on their Myspace.
