O projektu
Open Your Eyes started as an idea of exposing one of the biggest problems of today's world to the general public – exploitation of the animals. Animals are not there for our entertainment, we don't have to eat them nor wear them. In the labs, we torture them uncontrollably in the name of science, we skin them alive, keep them in cages, where they cannot turn around, we modify their genes so that their bodies hardly function. We deprecate racism and sexism; their parallel in today's world is speciecism. Open Your Eyes wants to inform the people about the everyday suffering of the animals. We travel around the country and show movies and documents about livestock production, animal experimentation and other cases of animal abuse. We try to supply those media that are not interested in the dirty business of their advertisers. You won't see shots of happy and purple cows on the grazing lands in the documents we screen. Expect to see the harsh result of today's consumer society that has no moral boundaries in relation to the animals. Without doing anything wrong, they are kept in the toughest jail of today's world. Their only rescue from this man-made hell is their own death. Please think about it. The evidence we put forth , is clean and simple. Free yourself from the thinking and traditions of the mainstream public. Try to think for yourself. Open your eyes to the billions of innocent lives that are calling for help right now and connect with the millions of people who are finally coming to help them. „Auschwitz begins wherever someone looks at a slaughterhouse and thinks: they're only animals.” Theodor Adorno, philosopher (1903 – 1969) |
