Screening of Bold Native
Bristol Animal Rights Collective | 11.11.2010 19:22
At Kebele
Bristol Animal Rights Collective will be hosting a film night at the Kebele Community Co-operative, 14 Robertson Road in Easton on Sunday 14th November. Food from 6.30pm - £2.50 and 50p for pudding. Free film at 7.30pm.
Bold Native is a fiction feature film. Charlie Cranehill, an animal liberator wanted by the United States government for domestic terrorism, emerges from the underground to coordinate a nationwide action as his estranged CEO father tries to find him before the FBI does. The film simultaneously follows a young woman who works for an animal welfare organization fighting within the system to establish more humane treatment of farmed animals. From abolitionists to welfarists, Bold Native takes on the issue of modern animal use and exploitation from several angles within the context of a road movie adventure story.
The filmmakers’ background in documentary informed the creative approach to Bold Native. Self-financed and shot with a four person team in real-world locations, sometimes using real activists, lawyers, and formerly imprisoned animal liberators, the film weaves an intricate tale of one of the most important issues facing America and the world morally and ecologically – the impact and consequences of industrialized animal use. And with a character who faces prosecution and potential lifetime imprisonment under the recently passed Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA) for property crimes currently considered terrorism, the film also illuminates the danger of corporate interests influencing the law in a post-9/11 world.
This gives a good insight to the reasoning and mindset of members of the ALF, vegans, and animal rights activists, without trying to ram veganism down your throat. It sucks you right in and gets you involved with all the characters and will entertain you before leaving you questioning the instrumentation of animals in modern day society.
And if just maybe it should make you feel like doing something about the abuse and exploitation of
animals afterwards the Bristol Animal Rights Collective are just an e-mail away....
