Dominion is a 2018 Australian anti-farming film written, directed, and produced by animal rights activist Chris Delforce.[1] According to the New York Times, the film primarily "claims to expose the routine and inhumane practices of animal agriculture in Australia."[2]
Synopsis
Dominion describes and shows how different animal species are abused and misused by humans. The film is divided into the following segments: introduction; pigs; egg-laying hens; meat chickens; turkeys; ducks; cows; sheep; goats; fish; rabbits; minks; foxes; dogs; horses; camels; mice; exotic animals; seals and dolphins; and a conclusion.[3]
Production
The documentary was produced as part of two crowdfunding campaigns that raised US$19,796[4] and €57,710,[5] respectively, and it received funding from the Australian animal rights organisation Voiceless.[6]
The film features narration by the actors Joaquin Phoenix, Rooney Mara and Sadie Sink, as well as the singer Sia.[7] It premiered in Melbourne on 29 March 2018.[8]
The documentary is managed by the animal protection and animal rights organisation, Farm Transparency Project, previously known as Aussie Farms. The movie was filmed to be a feature-length documentary sequel to Lucent (2014), which mostly focused on the Australian pig farming industry.[9]
Reception
The Australian Meat Industry Council Chief Executive, Patrick Hutchinson, has said, "What the film shows is not representative of the practices of the wider industry. The vast majority of businesses and the vast majority of their employees are deeply committed to ensuring the most humane experience possible for animals."[9]
