Lucent (2014) Reviews

• Excellent documentary

  chamindrisamarakoon2015-04-01

  This is an very excellent documentary bringing light upon a very important, yet ignored, topic not only in Australia but also around the world. It was not an easy watch, but it was a truthful documentary. It was emotionally moving as the documentary exposes the meat industry that many Australians and people around the globe don't know about, yet participate in every single day. The cinematography was well done in this movie. The documentary was extremely well put together, easy to follow. The narration was deeply moving. Overall it is a very good documentary. The duration was just the right length. I highly recommend everybody watch it and educate yourselves.

  The single most powerful film I have ever seen. Australians have a catch cry 'but it doesn't happen in Australia' when confronted with images of animal abuse. This film is here to tell you it does happen in Australia. When confronted with animal abuse footage we also have another saying 'it's a rogue operator'. This film also shows that it is common practice throughout Australia to allow animals to suffer unimaginably in factory farms. This is a must watch if you consume animals. You have to know where your food came from & how it came to be on your plate. You cannot have your head in the sand anymore. Come to the light.

• The film you must see.

  A deeply moving and highly informative expose of the Australian pig industry. Lucent tells the story you need to hear and shows the images you need to see. Factually presented with irrefutable video evidence from 50 different pig farms,you will not be able to question nor deny the truth ever again. You will, however, question why these things are allowed to continue. The light has been shone on an horrific industry. Lucent also reveals similar issues with all animal agriculture, including cattle and dairy, sheep, chickens, ducks and turkeys. The narration successfully educates the viewer with informative and emotive content. Superbly directed, Lucent is a film that will remain in your thoughts long after the credits have rolled.

  Watched it and it made me so angry that humans do such things to these innocent creatures. We as humanity have failed miserably on this planet and would be the main reason for the next extinction if it happens. Compassion is what should drive us. Ignoring this cruelty is not the answer. Humans should unite and spread more awareness on this issue. If anyone wants to further know what the consequences of pig farming and in general animal farming is watch the video of 1.4 million pigs and many more chicken being buried alive in South Korea. This is what we as humans have done to other species. These videos are on Youtube, those pigs we crying in agony but humans just don't care. This corporate world is just money no matter how much suffering is involved.

  Makes me realize how important it is to be vegan. Animals can feel pain just like us and to eat them when we don't have to is just crazy to me. A great watch and a great tool to use to show people why I am vegan. Very happy to see films like this shining light on where our food comes from. I like how the film doesn't sugar coat what it is like to live as an animal in Australia. It was well panned and well executed. It is done without bias and is a must see for anyone who consumes Australian animals. People need to know how the animals they eat are treated and how this treatment impacts on the animals day to day wellbeing. I will definitely recommend this film to anyone and everyone. It is a must see!
