New film focuses on ranchers who had a change of heart
Tribe of Heart has announced that it has completed Peaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home. The film has undergone a process of audience testing and refinement and the organization says that it has received “thoughtful and positive feedback from early test viewers”.
Film festivals have also been receptive to the project and screenings will start during the Fall. A DVD release is expected for late 2009 and early 2010, which will be accompanied by educational tools and online resources.
According to information on the organization’s website, “Peaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home, offers a touching portrait of five animal farmers struggling with the ethical tensions inherent in their way of life. On the one hand, the forces of economics and tradition dictate that the animals on their farms be valued by the income they produce, their purpose being fulfilled when they are sent to market. On the other hand, their humanity asks them to respect the animals they care for as individual beings, to acknowledge they have relationships with one another and the people who care for them, and a strong will to live.”
