This world renowned, explosive feature-documentary first shocked British cinema and television audiences in 1982. Controversial, confrontational and riveting, it is a unique work that received worldwide critical acclaim for its filmic power, questioning how and why modern societies exploit animals for food, fur, sport, entertainment and science. It showed scenes that had never been filmed before and footage uncovered through dogged research. In the UK it was broadcast on Channel 4 during its first week on air in November 1982 and caused uproar, and thereafter was shown in cinemas and on TV around the world.
