Documentary "Seeing Through The Fence"

We just found out about a screening of the new documentary "Seeing Through The Fence" happening next Tuesday, February 26th at 11:11 Teahouse (8:00 PM). 11:11 Teahouse is at 753 Edgewood Ave NE, Atlanta 30307. This looks really good, so do try to make it!

Here's what The Independent Weekly said about "Seeing Through The Fence":

"Vlachos designed the film, in part, as a visual response to an e-mail from her brother
[who lists] the reasons he likes to eat meat. Vlachos' film is...designed to deconstruct his reasoning...
through a collection of nutrition information, philosophical questions and answers...That conversation
is the main focus of Seeing Through the Fence.
Vlachos, armed with a hand-held camera and a mind full of questions, takes to streets,
dog parks and pig sanctuaries, from Seattle to North Carolina to Greece.
She questions passersby, friends and family about the rights of animals and the role
of meat in their daily lives.
It's in these conversations between family and friends that the film finds its real voice.
Here, Vlachos is less of a streetwise interviewer and more of a patient philosopher."

Hi There,

The screening of this documentary is on Tuesday the 26th. The website shows that the film maker's band, Beloved Binge, is playing the day after the screening on Wednesday the 27th.

Hope this helps!
