Dominion (2018) - Full Documentary

[Tisha]

Dominionis an Australian documentary (2018) and is announced as following (website):

Exposing the dark underbelly of modern animal agriculture through drones, hidden & handheld cameras, the feature-length film explores the morality and validity of our dominion over the animal kingdom.

I had already seen the announcement of the premiere surface a couple of times on social media, but I was in doubt for a long time whether I would attend. Very mixed feelings. I felt the theater should be filled with non-vegans, because they are precisely the ones who should be made aware of the injustice inflicted upon other animals. If I were to go, I would have preferred to take non-vegan friends with me. But as I did not have my own means of transportation that evening, it was more difficult for me to invite friends to come along.

I was also anxious about being able to cope emotionally with the footage. In the more than twenty years of exploring all sorts of issues related to animal rights and speciesism, I have seen a lot of footage depicting the horrible fate of animals at the hands of humans. I have also read a lot about these issues, and I know the gruwesome destiny of animals all too well unfortunately. That also inspired me to become vegan. Growing older, I find it increasingly difficult to cope psychologically with such explicit footage. When Earthlings came out (2005) I could not manage to watch for more than a few minutes. But I wanted to know whether Dominion is a documentary that I would recommened to others (and to what audience and under what circumstances), and as such, it is a prerequisite that I have seen it myself.

Going by the trailer (see below) the footage seemed to include a lot of images from the living environments of the animals and their surroundings, a lot taken form a distance made with drones. So I decided to go to the premiere afterall.
