I agree Texas is very over looked as far as animal advocacy groups are concerned but there are a lot of us compassionate animal lovers that would gladly support such a profound film and movement
I am one! Trophy Club, TX
Vegan for 6 mo., and passionate about spreading the word.
Maybe Texas Vegans need to start their own FB page.
I second (or third) this! Vegans in Texas definitely need help spreading the word.
Thank you for making such an amazing film. I cannot think of any other film that is more deserving of an Oscar award. It is only through the education and understanding provided in films such as Ghosts In Our Machines that we can expect humans to final give our fellow animals the respect and care they have always deserved.
Please, please come to Atlanta. We need all the enlightenment regarding animal suffering that we can get down here in the South.
Please come to Canada!
Hi Linda, The film played theatrically in Canada this past summer/fall. You can catch our broadcast premiere on Canada’s documentary channel on Nov. 24th at 9pm.

Please Please Please COME TO TAMPA FLORIDA!!
Please come to Florida!!!!
Will announce Florida dates in late January! Thanks!
Please come to San Francisco!
Be sure to add MISSOURI to the list. This state has approved a HORSE SLAUGHTER plant. At present, the plant is NOT operating due to legal issues still in the courts.
St Louis is an animal-friendly city that understands the power of the images of your documentary. No problem to get it on the screen.
Was there a write-in campaign to show the support behind this film to the academy? If not..Is it too late to have one?Whatever one thinks of the Oscars it does bring awareness to millions of people.
