I Am an Animal: The Story of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA

Winner: Best Documentary, Hampton Film festival

HBO and Stick Figure Productions Premiere 'I Am An Animal: The Story of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA'

She's tough. She's fearless. She's driven. She's a brilliant strategist. She's perhaps the most famous animal rights activist in the world. Get a glimpse inside the daily life of PETA President Ingrid Newkirk—from the moment she wakes up, well before dawn, until the end of a long day spent fighting for the rights of animals.

Meet the woman who founded PETA. See what makes her tick, see how far she is willing to go to help animals, hear what her detractors say—some who fear any threat to their bottom line and others who are envious of her success—and meet some of the animals who have benefited from her tireless work.

I Am an Animal will give you a taste of why PETA is the most successful animal rights organization in the world and offer an inside look at one woman's lifelong quest to make the world a better place for all animals.

I Am an Animal: The Story of Ingrid Newkirk and PETA is now available on DVD. Order the movie from PETA's catalog or rent it from Netflix, Blockbuster, or your local video rental store today!

Invite friends and family members over to watch the documentary on DVD. This is a great way to start a discussion about PETA and animal rights. Click here for vegan treats to serve at the party.

Finally I saw the movie yesterday! It was AWESOME! Love you Ingrid! I got the DVD from a friend from Australia. When I die, i'm sure to donate 90% of all my saving, money, properties to PETA US or PETA India. Anyway I still got lot of time for that, coz I'm only a student & i'm only 23 yrs old, there is still long way to go. I will continue to donate whenever I get money & give all my support.

This is the most disturbing documentary I have ever watched. I cannot believe that people treat animals this way in the 21st Century. I hope someday the thugs regret this senseless cruelty. No, it's more than cruelty. It's malicious, disgusting, vulgar, and unacceptable in every way I can imagine.

though I agree with peta's philosophy, I don't appreciate the propaganda of some of the films and the fact that many of the undercover operations don't feature an entirelly unbiased view of the organization in question. Granted, maybe it's important to shock people into making changes, such as switching to organic, free range eggs or refusing to buy from corporate meat/milk companies.
