The 2003 documentary film Earthlings, Narrated by Joaquin Phoenix and directed by Shaun Monson, presents a shocking account of the relationships between nature, nonhuman animals, and humankind with horrifying images of animal use over the swooning original soundtrack by Moby.
While Earthlings’ thesis is the noble comparison of these three elements of life, the film mostly draws on the dark consequences of human dominance over animals.
