Modern farms are struggling to keep a secret. Most of the animals used for food in the United States are raised in giant, bizarre factories, hidden deep in remote areas of the countryside. Speciesism: The Movie director Mark Devries set out to investigate. The documentary takes viewers on a sometimes funny, sometimes frightening adventure, crawling through the bushes that hide these factories, flying in airplanes above their toxic manure lagoons, and coming face-to-face with their owners.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
A painfully gauche, galumphing attack on factory farming, meat eating, animal experimentation and human supremacy. So many evils, so little time.

rotten:
Many of the assumptions that Devries's arguments are based on are left unexamined, like his mostly unqualified comparison of the treatment of animals at family-run farms and factory-controlled farms.
