Admission is free, and all are welcome. Parking at UR is free for visitors after 7 p.m. For a campus map showing the location of Hoyt Auditorium and nearby parking, see: http://www.rocheste r.edu/maps/ river_campus/ About the film: "Earthlings" is a documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research) that illustrates our disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (Gladiator) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby. Phoenix describes the film this way: "Of all the films I have ever made, this is the one that gets people talking the most. For every one person who sees Earthlings, they will tell three." Testimonials: "Earthlings is nothing short of a masterpiece! " -- Lionel Friedberg, producer, Animal Planet "Watching Earthlings is the greatest gift I have ever received. I cannot believe how ignorant I have been in the past." -- Bryce Dallas Howard, actress "The single most powerful and important movie about society's treatment of animals. A must-see for anyone who cares enough to know." -- Woody Harrelson
