Peaceable Kingdom is a documentary produced in 2004 by Tribe of Heart[1][2] that shows how some farmers refuse to kill animals and how they convert to veganism as a way of life. They create an animal sanctuary farm called "Farm Sanctuary" where they rescue injured animals, half dead, abandoned and rejected by the farm industry for not being productive.[3] Some examples of this would be a cow with mastitis or newborn chicks unfit for production.
It has won awards such as the Festival Theme Award in 2004 of the Ojai Film Festival,[4] with music by Moby. Images of exploitations are shown during the film. According to the prestigious primatologist Jane Goodall, "Peaceable Kingdom is a piece of art"[5]
A new version of this film titled Peaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home was released in 2010 and began showing at film festivals where it has won many awards.
