Review of The Ghosts in Our Machine (2013) by Antti Q — 21 Nov 2013
Excellent. Some reviewers have criticized the documentary because it doesn't give a more broad approach to the issues of animal cruelty and exploitation, but that's clearly not the intent or point of this film.
It's a glimpse of an artist who devotes her life to the invisible suffering of countless animals along with footage of a sanctuary where animals live in peace, dignity and kindness. The debate exists within the visuals.
As with all art or any great debate, show me don't tell me. We don't need a voice over or a debate on whether the cruelty is acceptable, for medical research or any reason. That debate exists already in many films & videos and countless books.
The power here is in the images and the story of one person who chooses not to ignore animal cruelty in her life and in her art.
