Dominion (2018) Reviews

• A painful watch but thought-provoking

  I went to see a free screening of this after being urged by a friend who is vegan. I came up with every excuse to avoid watching it until I gave into peer pressure... It's a gruelling 2 hours with no apologies made for its transparency. It'll rip you open and make you question your morals, beliefs and everything you were taught was normal in society. On the plus side, I've found vegan food isn't that bad after all!! Definitely recommend that everyone watch this, but it's not for the faint hearted.

• 'Earthlings' for a new generation.

  This documentary will open your eyes to the truth about the 'food' you choose to eat. It explodes the myth of 'humane slaughter', show the reality of 'free range' and every day farm practices and animal agriculture in Australia, but common around the world, as well as some other practices that occur in other countries to bring us in the West, our 'creature comforts' like down pillows and fur coats. The undercover footage that was bravely obtained by activists and painstakingly put together for this film, along with the drone footage, has some of the most moving and powerful scenes portraying the suffering and horror that is the life and death of farmed animals. Especially if you still consume animal products, have the courage to watch this film and see if your choice to do so really stacks up as a good reason to do something that requires so much suffering, and creates so much waste, greenhouse gases and poor human health outcomes.

• This film will go down in history

  This is the most important film you will ever watch. This documentary is a shocking expose of hidden violence behind our food system. Dozens of people had to step out of the theater where I saw it in San Francisco because they could not face the actual real-life footage of what happens behind the walls of animal farms and slaughterhouses. The filmmaker had his house raided by the Australian government and faced repeated threats for releasing this footage. This documentary is going to turn the world upside-down.

• A movie for change

  I went to see the film in a free event in my local city without knowing what it was about, the movie started and only ten minutes after I saw it my only impulse was to run away and forget what my eyes saw. I was with my girlfriend and she who is a vegetarian helped me to stay and see her completely. I have always thought that this type of vegan movements etc have some kind of fanaticism, but after seeing those images I can not simply deny reality, we live in a society that not only ignores but denies and rationalizes this horror story of which we are all participate I can not find any difference between what we are currently doing to the animals, with any nationalist or slavery regime of the past. I deeply thank those who were part of this film, although it has very strong images, unfortunately it is the only way we can get out of this ignorance in which we live and start to change.

• A MUST-SEE film.

  It takes courage to stand up and say what needs to be said. I applaud everyone involved in the production of this film. The change begins within. Each one of us needs to re-evaluate what we accept and tolerate. That uniting process, when magnified and absorbed by large amounts of people, creates the shift. It starts with the individual and films like this allow the individual to find their power. Thank you.
