Earthlings Film Screening: A Documentary That Will Change How You See the World

What if one 90-minute film could help us better understand both the world — and maybe even ourselves? Narrated by Joaquin Phoenix, Earthlings is an award-winning documentary exploring the relationships between humans, animals, food systems, consumer choices, and the environment. Please note that this film contains graphic footage and emotionally difficult scenes. It is not an easy watch. But I also believe there’s considerable value in engaging with perspectives that challenge us to look a little deeper. Like many aspects of life, our views about food, animals, and consumer choices are often shaped long before we consciously examine them — through influences like society, family, culture, and tradition. Documentaries like this offer us an opportunity to pause, consider perspectives we may not have examined in depth before, and thoughtfully decide for ourselves what we truly believe. Regardless of your perspective before or after the film, I hope you’ll leave feeling more informed and with a deeper understanding of both the issue and perhaps even yourself. Following the film, we’ll host an open community discussion. This isn’t intended to be a debate or lecture, but a respectful opportunity to ask questions, share perspectives, and learn together. Following the screening, everyone is warmly invited to stay for an open, respectful community discussion where all questions, viewpoints, and reflections are welcome.
