- DirectorCaroline Du SaintDamien VercaemarStarsFlorence Loiret CailleBirgitta AssheuerChristophe CastanerHow did it come about that we no longer see living beings in farm animals, but objects? Every year, 70 billion farm animals are slaughtered for consumption around the world. 80 percent are kept on large farms. They live crammed together in overcrowded stables, are fattened and finally slaughtered without ever having been in nature. In less than two generations, intensive husbandry has become established worldwide. Researches in Poland, the USA, Germany and Vietnam gets to the bottom of the system and those responsible. The meat industry is subsidized by the state. Corporations, governments and consumers tacitly support a deregulated and dehumanized economic system that makes unlimited consumption of animal products the norm - and with it, animal cruelty. The documentary film describes the triumph of industrial agriculture, in which the animal has to endure unimaginable suffering, becomes a commodity, a raw material that is always available and can be slaughtered and processed at will.

- DirectorTom SimonSarah TealeStarsPeteBradley MillerBob BakerDeath on a Factory Farm follows the undercover investigation of Wiles Hog Farm by the animal rights group: The Humane Farming Association (HFA), and the resulting court case against it. The organization received a tip from an employee at the farm that animals were being abused, including a claim that hogs were being hung by chains and strangled to death as a form of euthanasia. Horrifying but true. HFA then turned to an undercover investigator going by the name "Pete." The investigator wore a hidden camera while he worked undercover as a farmhand at Wiles. Over the course of six weeks, the investigator secretly filmed numerous incriminating scenes, including piglets being tossed into crates from across a room, impregnated sows held in pens impeded their ability to move, an unhealthy piglet being hit against a wall to euthanize it, and a sick sow being hung by a chain from a forklift until it choked to death. Having obtained this evidence, Pete concluded the investigation and quit the job at the farm. HFA brought Pete's footage to the Wayne County Sheriff's Department, which then raided the farm. Prosecutors filed ten criminal charges of animal cruelty against the farm's owners, and a farm employee who participated in hanging the sow. In the subsequent trial, the prosecutors and the defense fought about the legality and morality of these practices, described by the presiding judge as "distasteful and offensive". However, the Judge defended these practices as the reality of producing pork for consumption. Disgusting!

- DirectorTrish DolmanStarsPaul WatsonPatrick MooreRex Weyler"Eco-Pirate" tells the story of a man on a mission to save the planet and its oceans. The film follows professional radical ecologist, Captain Paul Watson as he repeatedly flouts the law, so that he may apprehend what he sees as the more serious law-breakers: the illegal poachers of the world. Using verité sequences shot aboard his ship as a framing device, the documentary examines Watson's personal history as an activist through archival footage and interviews, while revealing the impact of this relentless pursuit on his personal life. From the genesis of Greenpeace to sinking a pirate whaling ship off Portugal, and from clashes with fisherman in the Galapagos to Watson's recent headline-grabbing battles with the Japanese whaling fleet in Antarctica, the film chronicles the extraordinary life of the most controversial figure in the environmental movement; the heroics, the ego, the urgency of the world's original eco-pirate.
- DirectorOliver KyrStarsMartin BlakeChrista BlankeGieri Bolliger"Do animals have Civil Rights?" An unusual and provoking question. We, the Pegasus family, have travelled more than 12.000 kilometers throughout Europe to give voice to the animals of this world. The animals ask; animal activists, lawyers, vegan chefs, sanctuary founders and business professionals had to answer. Dr. Antoine F. Goetschel (Global Animal Law), Paul Watson (Sea Shepherd), Dr. Jane Goodall, Dr. Edmund Haferbeck (PETA), Christa Blanke (Animals' Angels), Garret John LoPorto (Civil Rights activist) and many more can be heard and seen in our film. Our filming started in the small Spanish village Trigueros del Valle where, in July 2015, mayor Pedro Perez Espinosa decided to grant Civil Rights to the animals of his village. Deciding to do this quest deliberately in a naive way, we were trying to find answers for the questions of the animals. We ourselves are learning, a development that takes the audience into the journey. Instead of just indoctrinating. Our own thoughts on animals' rights are the golden thread and thus connect the off speakers and the animals. In Graz (Southern Austria) we even met two free-learning families, whose children surprised us with their own approach towards the rights of the animals.
