Watch "Earthlings" Free Movie Online (HQ)

EARTHLINGS is a feature length award-winning documentary film about humanity's absolute dependence on animals and the suffering of animals for food, fashion, pets, entertainment and scientific research. It also highlights our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers".

With an in-depth study into pet stores, puppy mills and animals shelters, as well as factory farms, the leather and fur trades, sports and entertainment industries, and finally the medical and scientific profession, EARTHLINGS uses hidden cameras and never before seen footage to chronicle the day-to-day practices of some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit.

Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals, and human economic interests.

There are many worthy animal rights films available, but this one transcends the setting. EARTHLINGS cries to be seen. Highly recommended!

The film is narrated by Academy Award® nominee Joaquin Phoenix and features music by platinum-selling recording artist Moby. Initially ignored by distributors, today EARTHLINGS is considered the definitive animal rights film by organizations around the world.

“Of all the films I have ever made, this is the one that gets people talking the most,” said Phoenix. “For every one person who sees EARTHLINGS, they will tell three.”

In 1999, writer/producer/director Shaun Monson began work on a series of PSAs about spaying and neutering pets. The footage he shot at animal shelters around Los Angeles affected him so profoundly that the project soon evolved into EARTHLINGS.

The film would take another six years to complete because of the difficulty in obtaining footage within these profitable industries. Though the film was initially ignored by distributors, who told Monson that the film would “never see the light of day and should be swept under the rug”, today EARTHLINGS is considered the definitive animal rights film by organizations around the world.

The film begins by explaining the word, Earthling:

earth-ling n. One who inhabits the earth.

This title reflects the notion that animals, humans and nature are all equal as earthlings.

The word earthlings simply refers to the fact that we all inhabit the same earth. Throughout the documentary, the narration makes the point that there is little difference between racism, sexism or religious persecution, and what the film calls speciesism.

Speciesism is defined as the belief that we are innately better than the other earthlings we coexist with on the planet simply because we dominate them. The most poignant question that the movie asks is what makes people a superior species to animals.

The film makes the point that we all exist on the earth together, are all aware of our surroundings, and have all evolved together. Though the other earthlings do not speak our language, they have their own languages. They possess finely tuned natural instincts and senses that humans have lost long ago, and many animal species have inhabited this earth longer than humans have.

EARTHLINGS emphasizes that humans are not only related to monkeys and chimpanzees, but they are also related to all other living organisms on the earth, since we all evolved from the same humble beginnings. As earthlings, we should be able to coexist in harmony, instead of trying to profit off exploiting the weakness of animals.

The EARTHLINGS film points out that as humans, we are using our power to dominate animals as the reason why we can disrespect them as fellow creatures. The film poses as an alternative, that instead, humans should treat their power over animals as a responsibility to help protect them when they cannot protect themselves.
