Summaries

Documentary that explores the differences and similarities between human behavior and that of animals.

The documentary compares humans to other animals. It alternates between images of animals' cruel struggles for survival in the wild and images of human relationships with other species. The footage clearly illustrates that while other animals kill to survive, humans very often kill and harm for trivial reasons. It also highlights the environmental impacts of developing civilization, including deforestation, overpopulation, excessive demand, and consumerism.—Hayduke
