10/10. Engaging, Enlightening, Exposing.
A hugely important film for those to watch, especially if you are still paying for 'humane slaughter' of animals. A real look at 'RSPCA Assured' and 'Red Tractor Approved'. Intense scenes, secret filming and confronting interviews fill this documentary; exposing some of the most horrific and eye opening practices which exist for something as meaningless as taste.
Joey and his team risk their lives in order to document the TRUTH of what happens to pigs in the UK. If you claim to be an 'animal lover' please do not hesitate from watching this hugely important film. You do not love animals if you pay for these abhorrent industries. Please watch and tell me otherwise.

Animal lovers can't miss this documentary, it's essential.
Joey Carbstrong, an ex-gang member turned animal rights activist puts his life on the line, literally, he risks his life, to show the world what the meat industry has been desperately trying to hide. The documentary has multiple moments that will leave you shocked, appalled, and disgusted in what humans are capable of, and possibly even more shocked by how well humans can lie about it.
The documentary is very well made, with a strong story that carries you through from beginning to end, and what an end it is. The big reveal comes with a combination of excitement, apprehension, and deep sorrow. The documentary balances entertainment and tension with the sobering reality of what they are uncovering.
Surprisingly, there is some comic relief, especially from Dan when discussing the situations he found himself in while preparing for the actions in this documentary. But the take away from this film is clear to anyone who watches it; we can't go on like this, and the animals certainly can't.
We need to come together and make a change for these poor animals, we need to come together and say never again, never again will we let these things happen to innocent, defenceless beings.
Thank you Joey, Tarion, Dan and the entire Pignorant team for risking it all to expose the truth. The world thanks you, and so would the animals if they could.

This is absolutely brilliant and a MUST WATCH for anyone who still eats pigs and isn't vegan. It's also perfect for anyone who wants to find out more about how the pork industry works in the UK. Not only does Pignorant expose the UK pork industry, but it also exposes the RSPCA, Red Tractor and free-range pig farming. If you like animals, it will be really interesting as it's packed full of information about pigs that most people won't know. If you decide to skip watching Pignorant, you're definitely missing out.
A big, big thank you to Joey Carbstrong, Dan Sheppard, Tarion Partridge and the rest of the team involved in making this incredible documentary.

I've never seen a documentary that is educational, sad, enraging, funny, cute, and suspenseful... all at the same time. Pignorant is all of these things.
My girlfriend and I were discussing after we watched it, and one thing that stuck out was how well it protected its scope as well as covered all of the details within. If you're looking to learn pretty much everything you need to know about pigs and how we treat them - this is it.
I didn't cry for 15 years before watching this last night. The sound, the images, the story, the absolutely immenseness and pervasiveness of it all was too much for this grown man to handle.
Thank you for your sacrifices and work, Joey and team.

What has been revealed in this newly-released documentary has just blown my mind completely!
The use of never-before-seen footage and a thrilling narrative only adds to the immense surprise and shock provided for by finding out how thoroughly and consistently we have all been lied to by ostensibly trustworthy government entities. I believe this documentary may cause anyone who watches it to question what they serve their loved ones or put on their own plate while also serving to provide a critical catalytic force for what is much needed change in these industries on which we rely so heavily.
This was such a hard-hitting exposé that I am still recovering from the shock almost an hour after watching. Would highly recommend, this is a certified 10/10!
