Peaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home
A Tribe of Heart Documentary

Director: Jenny Stein
Producer: James LaVeck
Associate Producers: Eric Huang, Kevin Smith
Musical Score: Kevin Bartlett, Joy Askew

A riveting story of transformation and healing, PEACEABLE KINGDOM: THE JOURNEY HOME explores the awakening conscience of several people who grew up in traditional farming culture and who have now come to question the basic premises of their inherited way of life. Presented through a woven tapestry of memories, music, and breathtaking accounts of life-altering moments, the film provides insight into the farmers’ sometimes amazing connections with the animals under their care, while also making clear the complex web of social, psychological and economic forces that have led them to their present dilemma. Interwoven with the farmers' stories is the dramatic animal rescue work of a newly-trained humane police officer whose sense of justice puts her at odds with the law she is charged to uphold.

With strikingly honest interviews and rare footage demonstrating the emotional lives and intense family bonds of animals most often viewed as living commodities, this groundbreaking documentary shatters stereotypical notions of farmers, farm life, and perhaps most surprisingly, farm animals themselves.

Why Vegan? Lessons From An Animal Scientist

2012-08-02T07:37:02.606Z

As a scientist who chooses a plant-based diet, Jonathan Balcombe is not your typical biologist. In this riveting, richly-illustrated presentation, Balcombe reveals startling new discoveries in the realms of animal cognition and emotional complexity--from optimistic starlings, to choosy fishes, to dogs who object to unfair treatment. Balcombe explains how sentience--the capacity to feel--is the bedrock of ethics, and why the vegan lifestyle is the Holy Grail of personal activism for animals, the environment, and personal health.

Animal behavior expert Jonathan Balcombe is a passionate advocate for the protection of animals and their living spaces. He is the author of the best-selling Pleasurable Kingdom: Animals and the Nature of Feeling Good, available in five foreign editions, and Second Nature: The Inner Lives of Animals. Balcombe's message resonates with timely issues that affect everyone, including climate change, biodiversity, and personal health. A dynamic sought-after speaker, Balcombe has given invited presentations on six continents.

"People Didn't Help Us, they Just Stared": When you know it is f*cked up, but you do nothing anyway

I recall an incident that occurred 9 years ago in which I remained silent when I knew I should have said something. I link this experience to overall questions of how and why do so many folk in the USA, at least, remain silent when we know a social injustice is occurring right in front of their faces.
