Animal Testing Documentary

Executive Producer – Sadie Frost

This pioneering documentary aims to challenge government secrecy around animal testing, in the UK and around the world. Starting with a focus on the industrial-scale breeding of beagle puppies and their use in contract toxicology testing, it calls for an urgent move to transparency and modern non animal methods.

Support This Project In Two Ways

1. Donate Knowledge, Contacts or Time

We are first time film-makers but with the help of our community, we are determined to bring a professional, investigative and impactful production.

Your knowledge, contacts, and time are invaluable gifts, even more powerful than financial support. When you contribute this way, you’re shaping it directly, bringing compassion and authenticity to the work. This kind of contribution gives the project its heart and soul.

To get involved in the production of this important film, complete this simple form below:

2. Donate Towards Production Costs

The proposal document states the total required budget is £216k. This estimated figure is based on standard costs of production services for a professional and authoritative documentary.

However, we are volunteering our time to the project so every penny can be put into enhancing its quality and impact. Given the nature of this cause, we will be urging anyone who works on this project to also volunteer their time and services. Ideally we would like to see it produced entirely voluntarily but unfortunately, this is probably an unrealistic expectation.

Your financial support can dramatically accelerate production, empowering it to achieve maximum impact for the cause. It also helps to ensure the documentary meets the professional technical and journalistic standards expected by viewing platforms.
