THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE is a multi-award winning
documentary that illuminates the lives of individual animals living within and
rescued from the machine of our modern world. Through the heart and photographic
lens of award-winning animal rights photojournalist Jo-Anne McArthur, audiences
become intimately familiar with a cast of non-human animals. 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 Research.
The Ghosts in Our Machine charts McArthur’s efforts to
bring wider attention to a topic that most of humankind strives hard to avoid.
Are non-human animals property to be owned and used, or are they sentient beings
deserving of rights?
