Academy Award winning director Curt Johnson (Michael Moore Hates America, Thoth) comes to Portland to present his new film documenting the current animal rights movement and the government's oppression of it. The FBI has designated animal rights activists as the number one domestic terrorist threat and several activists interviewed in the film have since been sentenced to federal prison. This screening is a benefit with proceeds going to their support funds.
Your Mommy Kills Animals was shot all over the country, including Portland and features interviews with local activists as well as celebrities like Jorja Fox, Moby, Jennifer Pryor, and controversial figures like Dr. Jerry Vlasek, Paul Watson, Josh Harper, and Kevin Kjonnaas. Says Johnson, "I was very lucky to talk to people on both sides of the issue equally and the film let's the audience make up their own mind."
The director will introduce the film and have a question and answer period after the film.
