MISS LIBERTY: A FILM WHOSE TIME HAS COME

An Introduction by Ingrid Newkirk, Founder and President of PETA:

Miss Liberty , a feature film created by Rev. William Melton and written by Rev. William and Victoria Moran, is currently in development. It's the engaging story of how the escape from a slaughterhouse of one used-up dairy cow changes lives and affects a community. It's pure, engaging entertainment for families. The time has come for a you-get-the popcorn kind of movie focused on a single dairy cow, mooing for other 270 million of them––and for a film that draws attention to other problems in the meat industry, such as worker treatment and safety.
This is a movie that won’t alienate omnivores, but rather awaken every viewer to a wrong they just might want to see set right.
We’d love to have you on our team, in our family. For more information visit our website Miss Liberty the Movie , regarding the current development status of the film, steps for moving forward, and how you can help. The Compassion Consortium is the 501c3 nonprofit partner of Miss Liberty , meaning that your donations to the development of the film are fully tax-deductible. In addition, thanks to a welcome foundation grant, all donations are matched, dollar for dollar, up to $100,000.
