[Guest guest]

There's a great new film called EARTHLINGS, which is narrated by

Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix. EARTHLINGS is a

groundbreaking film about mankind's complete commercial dependence

on, yet total disrespect for, animals used as pets, food, clothing,

entertainment, and for medical or scientific research.

 

Using hidden cameras and never-before-seen footage, EARTHLINGS

chronicles the day-to-day practices of some of the largest

industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for

profit. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is

by far the most comprehensive documentary film ever produced on the

correlation between mankind, nature, animals, and human economic

interests.

 

EARTHLINGS is written, produced, directed and edited by Shaun

Monson. The filmmaker's works include the documentary HOLY WAR,

UNHOLY VICTORY, about the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the

rise of the Taliban, narrated by veteran actor and Academy Award

winner George Kennedy [COOL HAND LUKE], and the Dogme 95 film BAD

ACTORS which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2001. Shaun is

currently working on his next documentary feature about America's

addiction to prescription drugs, entitled MEDICATE ME, with

comedian/talk show host Bill Maher [REAL TIME, POLITICALLY

INCORRECT].

 

EARTHLINGS is narrated by Joaquin Phoenix, who was nominated for an

Academy Award in 2000 for GLADIATOR with music by Moby. The actor's

other credits include: THE VILLAGE, BUFFALO SOLDIERS, SIGNS, THE

YARDS, QUILLS, CLAY PIGEONS, RETURN TO PARADISE, U-TURN, INVENTING

THE ABBOTTS, 8MM and TO DIE FOR. He can be seen this fall in LADDER

49 and is currently working on the Johnny Cash biopic I WALK THE

LINE.
