The folks at the Hamptons International Film Festival just announced that “I Am an Animal,” the forthcoming documentary about PETA and Ingrid Newkirk, has been named Best Documentary! It’s not actually coming out on HBO until next month — and I haven’t seen it, so I can’t tell you all that much about it — but I can definitely recommend checking out this interview with Ingrid and the film’s director, Matthew Galkin. It looks like it’s going to be a hell of a film. The HIFF people certainly seemed to think so anyway.
