SUMMARY:Love Over Money: The Man Who Walked Away From Baskins-Robbins Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Lab for this special screening\, a story about choosing love over money and following your heart and values. Special guest\, Ocean Robbins\, son of John Robbins\, will be Zooming in to introduce the film and pay tribute to his amazing Dad. \nGrab some popcorn and a drink from the concession stand — and no matter how cute he looks\, don’t give any to Vish\, our little plushie Ambassador of Anti-Speciesism — sit back\, and enjoy this inspiring film with like-minded/hearted individuals. \nIncreasingly uncomfortable about the negative health impacts\, environmental implications\, and animal exploitation issues surrounding the dairy industry\, this very unique human — who very recently passed away — John Robbins walked away from Baskin-Robbins in 1969 to align with his personal ethics and conscience. Preferring to advocate for a plant-based lifestyle and healthy eating\, he refused the family fortune to pursue a life of purpose\, ultimately becoming a renowned health advocate and author of books like Diet for a New America. \nHe believed the more ice cream people ate\, the more likely they were to experience heart disease\, diabetes\, and obesity; he found it morally unacceptable to profit from the suffering of exploited cows; and he recognized how dairy farming contributed to environmental degradation — so he lived in alignment with his values\, choosing compassion over profit and a life in service to others over financial security. \nTickets: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/love-over-money-the-man-who-walked-away-from-baskin-robbins-film-screening-tickets-1681472963899

SUMMARY:"The Ghosts In Our Machine" Film Screening @Hot Docs
DESCRIPTION:A feature doc by Toronto’s Liz Marshall revealing the lives of individual animals within the machine of our modern world. \nAside from our companion animals and the wild or stray species in urban spaces\, we mostly experience animals as food\, clothing\, test subjects or entertainment. This moral dilemma remains largely hidden. The Ghosts in Our Machine—directed by Toronto filmmaker Liz Marshall—reveals the lives of individual animals trapped in\, and rescued from\, our modern world’s machinery. \nThrough the lens of animal rights photojournalist Jo-Anne McArthur\, audiences intimately connect with a cast of non-human animals. From undercover investigations to joyful rescues across North America and Europe\, each photograph and story exposes global industries—Food\, Fashion\, Entertainment\, and Research. The Ghosts in Our Machine follows McArthur’s mission to spark awareness of an issue many prefer to ignore: Are non-human animals mere property\, or sentient beings deserving of rights? \nJoin director Liz Marshall for a virtual post-screening Q&A \nTickets: https://hotdocs.ca/whats-on/films/ghosts-in-our-machine
