THE GHOSTS IN

OUR MACHINE
is a multi-award winning consciousness raising documentary

that gently reveals one of the most haunting moral dilemmas of our modern

world. While the provocative film BLACKFISH made

waves for exposing the consequences of keeping orcas in captivity, GHOSTS illuminates the plight of

many other animals rescued from and living within the machine of our

modern world, from captive foxes to rescued dairy cows.  





Award-winning filmmaker Liz Marshall directs this visually

arresting documentary through the heart and lens of photojournalist Jo-Anne

McArthur. The film follows


Jo-Anne over the course of a year as she documents several animal stories in

parts of Canada, the U.S. and in Europe. Each story and photograph is a window

into global animal industries: Food; Fashion; Entertainment and Biomedical

Research. 






This screening is hosted by a local NJ vegan activist,

Allyson Dwyer, who is looking to bring together the central New Jersey

community for a night of awareness and discussion. For more information please
