"PEACEABLE KINGDOM is a masterpiece. I hope it inspires growing numbers of
people to support this desperately important cause." - Jane Goodall, Ph.D,
D.B.E, U.N. Messenger of Peace
In Peaceable Kingdom, we hear the riveting stories of people struggling with
their conscience around some of our society's most fundamental assumptions.
Exploring the interconnected journeys of farm animals, former farmers and
animal rescuers struggling against an out of control industrial system. An
inspiring story of personal redemption, compassion, healing and hope,
Peaceable Kingdom is described by many of its viewers as "a life changing
experience." From the producers of "The Witness", winner of 6 Best
Documentary awards.
