Important Films to See, at Home and at Festivals

Last December, I wrote a post about the new documentary Fowl Play, which takes viewers inside the egg industry. And now you can order DVDs of the documentary -- for yourself, for family and friends, or for activist events. Visit the film's site for the trailer and clips and to place your order. And if you are interested in hosting a screening in your area, you can find tips and suggestion for that here. Between this documentary and the Mercy for Animals undercover hatchery investigation last month and all the numerous investigations before it, a lot of people have to be questioning how important it really is to them to keep eating eggs.

Meanwhile, Peaceable Kingdom is still making the festival rounds -- and successfully! It won the "Spirit of Moondance" Best Feature Documentary when it premiered at the Moondance International Film Festival last month, and since then, festival screenings have been continuing elsewhere. The premiere weekend is recapped here, complete with slideshow and a lovely video. Become a fan on Facebook and join the e-mail list to keep up-to-date on screenings as they're added. I'm counting down the days 'til the film and its remarkable filmmakers arrive in St. Louis next month.

And finally, another documentary whose release I've been anxious for since hearing about it last year is Got the facts on Milk? The Milk Documentary, and a recent check in at the official Web site indicates a Spring 2010 release now. Check it out and sign up for updates.
