The Ghosts in Our Machine

A film by Liz Marshall

Featuring Jo-Anne McArthur

Produced by Nina Beveridge & Liz Marshall

With the exception of our companion animals and a few wild or stray species within our environments, we experience animals daily as food, clothing, animal tested goods and entertainment, a moral dilemma that is often hidden from view. This cinematic documentary illuminates the lives of individual animals living within and rescued from the machine of our modern world.
