Tuesday April 15th, 7pm, SFU Harbour Centre
Vancouver Premiere and filmaker Q&A presented by ANIMAL VOICES radio & LIBERATION BC.
Live And Let Live is a new feature documentary examining our relationship with animals. It is a beautiful, life-affirming, and inspiring film.
Food scandals, climate change, lifestyle diseases and ethical concerns move more and more people to reconsider eating animals and animal products. From butcher to vegan chef, from factory farmer to farm sanctuary owner – Live and Let Live tells the stories of six individuals who decided to stop consuming animal products for different reasons and shows the impact the decision has had on their lives.
Through these stories, Live and Let Live showcases one of the fastest growing lifestyles worldwide, with more and more people realizing what’s on their plates matters to animals, the environment and ultimately – themselves.
Featuring Peter Singer, Tom Regan, Gary Francione, T. Colin Campbell, Jonathan Balcombe, Will Potter, lauren Ornelas, Melanie Joy and many others.
**Note there is no footage of violence, with the exception of one rescue scene which show some animals in distress.
