Plot Summary
Open your eyes. Trust your heart. Take the journey. Five farmers, a humane officer, an animal rescuer, and a cow named Snickers will make you laugh and cry, expand your consciousness, and challenge your ideas about animal farming. A riveting story of transformation and healing, this award-winning documentary explores the struggle of conscience experienced by several people from traditional farming backgrounds who are now questioning the basic assumptions of their inherited way of life. Acknowledging the sometimes amazing connections they have shared with animals under their care, the farmers reveal the social and economic pressures that led to their inner conflict. Interwoven with the farmers' stories is the dramatic animal rescue work of a newly-trained humane police officer whose sense of justice puts her at odds with the law she is charged to uphold. With strikingly honest interviews and rare footage demonstrating the emotional lives and intense family bonds of farm animals, this groundbreaking documentary shatters stereotypical notions of farmers, farm life, and perhaps most surprisingly, the animals themselves.

Every person should see this film
Peaceable Kingdom is a touching and inspiration film. It doesn't have the graphic scenes that Earthlings has, also a good film, but too brutal for most to watch. This film is great for everyone and focuses more on the relationship between human animal and non-human animal. Seeing the animals in action in their habitats is up lifting and knowing there are people like this out there is great to know. This film will make you want to buy your own farm sanctuary and take in as many rescues as possible. The film production is also well done.
This film will change the world..if you let it change your heart.
There has never been a more compelling, heart grabbing, inspiring film for the human spirit. Peaceable Kingdom will knock on the door of your natural instinct and open a world of insight and compassion that will change the course of your life. Not only for your betterment, but the betterment of our planet and all of her inhabitants, human and non. The Journey Home is exactly that…it is a journey back to our instincts to honor, protect, and love ourselves and all the world around us. It is a journey to our highest intelligence emotionally and mentally. Open your heart and you will step into a world of freedom and purpose.
