SPECISISM Film Discussion And Q&A With The Film Director
Online event
Join us for SPECISISM film screening and discussion!
This film is a journey into the hidden world of factory farming, but it explores beyond that. Interviews with animal rights organizations, philosophers, and men and women on the street lead to the question of whether humans are superior to nonhuman animals, and – if so – why they are. Mark DeVries (Director, Producer, Cinematographer) will be joining us for a special guest Q&A!
The way this works is that everyone watches the film on their own BEFORE the event, then we meet on zoom to discuss. The zoom link will be visible for everyone who RSVP for the event. We break everyone out into randomized small groups of around 4 or 5 people, give them a discussion prompt, and give them about 20 minutes or so to discuss in their randomized groups. We will do multiple rounds of small group discussion with different groups and different prompts. This gives everyone an opportunity to meet new people and hear a variety of voices and perspectives throughout the night. Finally, we will end with the special guest Q&A!
Here is a link to where you can watch the film for free: [https://watch.unchainedtv.com/documentaries/videos/speciesism-the-movie-director-s-cut](https://watch.unchainedtv.com/documentaries/videos/speciesism-the-movie-director-s-cut)
**PLEASE WATCH THE FILM ON YOUR OWN PRIOR TO THE EVENT!**
The film screening and discussion is organized by [Community Documentary Night](https://documentarynight.wordpress.com/), based out of Atlanta, Georgia with the purpose of giving people an opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions on a wide range of topics with people from various backgrounds. In addition to RSVP for the event on the Meetup event you may also RSVP on their [Eventbrite page](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/special-virtual-documentary-night-tickets-722513827307), if you wish for Community Documentary Night to get in touch with you.
The event is posted in the multiple meetup and other groups so expect much more people at the discussion than you see on the RSVP list.
Do not forget to invite your friends and family!
