If you go to Speciesism expecting to be hit over the head with the message to go vegan - whether you're a staunch carnivore uninterested in changing your views or a staunch vegan looking for someone to share a soapbox with - you're going to be disappointed. This film is a thoughtful exploration of one person's unexpected - and sometimes even reluctant - journey through one of the most complex moral questions facing our planet.
Director Mark Devries does a truly remarkable job of navigating these issues through his own observations as well as a wide-ranging series of interviews. Devries asks some tough questions but he is never presumptuous or demeaning, to either his interviewees or the audience. He gives everyone the space to think through their own positions themselves.
