The goal of the documentary is to shed light to the animals that live in darkness and unfortunately are not seen by humans; they’re voiceless, they live in the dark, their personalities are not seen, their lives are not known. But they are all individuals, they all have personalities, and they all deserve to be free.
FABIANA GONZALEZ: A new animal rights documentary premiered on World Farmed Animals Day, October 2nd 2023. “A Day in the Life of a Farmed Animal” is a collective project that empowers people around the world to speak up for farmed animals, share their stories, show their personalities, and raise awareness about the unnecessary suffering they go through every single day. With footage from 25 filmmakers from 11 countries, A Day in the Life tells an intimate and truthful story of what farmed animals go through during the arc of a 24-hour day…
A Day in the Life of a Farmed Animal is a moving film with a refreshing approach: “ [It] captures the innate power of a documentary. No dialogue. No interviews. Just pure, honest footage. The film is deeply moving and a superb example of the true essence of the non-fiction film. This is because documentaries have really changed as streamers battle for market share, and select subjects focused on either true crime, celebrities, or episodes that end with a cliffhanger. In other words, a genre that once existed to inform and enlighten is now primarily a commercial product”, says Monson, adding “[the film] returns viewers to the profound potential and lasting impact of a documentary film that can alter the human heart.
This is a motion picture that reminds viewers of the power of the edit, when to hold on an image longer, and at what moment the film must move on, leaving the viewer to ponder the outcome. This is not a film intended to entertain or bemuse, but reawaken and engage the audience’s introspection. It is a documentary that leaves space for contemplation, something lost in this age of voracious appetites for so-called content”…
Director Alessio Schiazza, who also worked on musician and animal rights activist Moby’s “Punk Rock Vegan Movie” and actor and animal rights activist Joaquin Phoenix’s “Liberty”, has crafted an incredibly visually appealing piece that also conveys the emotions and grueling lives of farmed animals in this 39 minute documentary that allows all animal lovers to put themselves in these animals’ feet, hooves, paws, and claws.
“The goal is to shed light to the animals that live in darkness and unfortunately are not seen by humans; they’re voiceless, they live in the dark, their personalities are not seen, their lives are not known, so the goal is to share their lives, share their stories, for everyone to understand that they’re all individuals, they all have personalities, and they all deserve to be free”, says Schiazza…
The documentary has been submitted to various film festivals, so stay tuned and please support this amazing project to maximize its visibility and its potential to touch hearts and change minds about our non-human animal friends being exploited all over the world. SOURCE…
