This documentary looks at the methods employed by animal rights activists, from the well-known People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to smaller grassroots organizations. In addition to depicting various activists' media savvy and protests, the film also details outbreaks of violence by some of the movement's most militant elements. In response to some acts, in 2005 the FBI takes the controversial step of placing certain animal rights activists on its list of potential terrorists.

Critics Consensus

A thoroughly fascinating, well-presented examination of the animal rights debate that is both provocative and thought-provoking.

4/5

Perhaps the greatest service Johnson does is to turn the event that spurred him to make the film -- the FBI labeling animal rights activists the top domestic terrorist threat -- into a crucial dialogue.

2.5/4

It lets you off dizzy and confused, whereas the best documentaries leave you feeling that you've come to a settled perspective on a subject.

Those on both sides of the animal rights issue will find much to fume over in ... Curt Johnson's in-depth, eye-opening examination of the movement.

4/5

Johnson's not pushing buttons just for the sake of attention-getting, he's revealing just how hopelessly complicated the issue has grown.
