Why Dogs Smile & Chimpanzees Cry (1999)
The Secret, Beautiful World of Animals

This is an impressive documentary. It's scientific without being dry, and it's tender and engaging without the stereotypical tricks to pull on your emotions. As a vegetarian and animal rights activist, I care about how animals are treated and what they feel--but this movie surprised me by showing me how much I don't know about the complexity of these emotions. I wish that humans were all so excited about welcoming a new baby to the community and as loyal and empathetic in times of distress as some of the animals in the movie demonstrated. It's amazing to see these "inside stories" of their lives unfold, almost like looking through a window into another world. I can't wait to watch it again and share it with my friends.
