The copy of Earthlings that I bought for the sanctuary showed up yesterday, so my partner and I decided to take a midday break and watch it. Neither of us had seen it, but I’ve certainly been listening to all the buzz over the past year.
The movie is absolutely incredible. A magnificent primer. Sure, it can be nearly impossible to watch at times due to the violent nature of much of what is portrayed in the movie, but isn’t that all the more reason to watch it? I like the line from the movie, “ignorance is not an option.” I think I might steal that and start incorporating it into the sanctuary’s materials. I also planned to do a showing or two of Earthlings here in Bloomington. People need to watch it.
