Everyman

Brother Beast (1979x20)

Udgivelsesdato: Nov 04, 1979

In Lancashire a Christian minister buries a Jack Russell terrier with the full rites of the church. In Coventry a vicar holds a religious service for pets. Yet Christian tradition holds that animals have no souls, and therefore no rights. Everyman investigates the growing movement for animal rights, and asks: is our 'species-ism' (the assumption that humans are superior to other species) the product of our religious heritage?
