91% on Rotten Tomatoes
“A miraculously evenhanded treatment of a snarlingly divisive debate, ‘Your Mommy Kills Animals’ tries to bring the animal-rights issue to heel, and there aren’t enough muzzles to go around. There are no good guys or bad guys in this propulsive film, but there’s enough in the way of odd characters and bad behavior to amuse and inform auds who only marginally care about the content. A theatrical release seems as obvious as a pit bull, with meaty ancillary prospects lying in wait.” –Variety

Inspired by a post-9/11 FBI alert identifying animal rights activists as the number one domestic terror threat, documentarian Curt Johnson (2002 Academy Award-winning ‘Thoth’) sought out embattled activists and their detractors to determine the actual danger posed by the movement.
Johnson interviewed the SHAC7, young activists who violated federal anti-terrorism laws by encouraging direct action protests via their website. The freedom of speech issue surrounding the SHAC7 trial serves as the lightning rod of Your Mommy Kills Animals, drawing in a spectrum of commentators with numerous points of view and passionate ideologies.
