A thoughtful young guy senses there may be something wrong with humans thinking we're better than animals.
He interviews experts and people on the street and ends up making a solid case for our being in thrall to a kind of self-aggrandizing prejudice: speciesism. We feel it's okay to use animals for our own pleasure or needs but can't really come up with any good reason why it's okay.
If you've ever felt a little uneasy about our modern life-style, I urge you to watch this movie. It confirmed my recent questioning of why I do certain things just because "everybody does."
