The American documentary, directed by Matthew Galkin, is dedicated to Ingrid Newkirk, one of the most influential personalities globally. As the president and co-founder of the PETA organization, actively championing animal rights since 1980, Newkirk's contributions to improving the living conditions of animals are indisputable. Born in Great Britain, she has shunned the spotlight throughout her life. We get to know her intimately not only through exclusive interviews, which she rarely grants to the media, but also through the narratives of PETA activists and the perspectives of both supporters and critics. If you haven't heard of Ingrid Newkirk before, this documentary ensures you won't forget her after watching.
