Shaun Monson | Veganism vs a Captured World & Disruptive Movies That Challenge the System


Listen Later

Shaun Monson is the mastermind behind EARTHLINGS, the most thorough exploration ever conducted on the interplay between nature, animals, and human economic pursuits, portraying animal torture as an acceptable act in our culture, no matter what religious, ethical, or political preference people are.

In this episode, Juliana Spicoluk, Mark Spicoluk & Shaun Monson sit down on a sunny Halloween afternoon to chat about the inspiration behind Earthlings and Unity, documentary festivals labelling his movies as propaganda, working with Joaquin Phoenix and Moby, learning from masters of the silver screen such as Orson Welles, Ridley Scott, David Fincher or Oliver Stone, traumatic knowledge, US laws on animal protection, statistics, veganism, inspiring movies such as Dances With Wolves, The Game, EO, or JFK, Henry Ford and disruptions, TikTok, Airbnb, Uber, Dr. Greger and How Not To Die, cell based meat and Beyond Meat, Covid-19, saving pigs, elephants and orcas, sanctuaries, Free Willy and Keiko movies.
