(1:11:57) Behind the Mask: The Story Of The People Who Risk Everything To
Save Animals is a 2006 documentary film about the Animal Liberation Front
(ALF). It took three years of filming, interviewing, and editing to
complete. The movie was created by animal-rights lawyer Shannon Keith, who
owns Uncaged Films and ARME (Animal Rescue, Media & Education). The
documentary was produced in response to a perceived bias in the mainstream
media against the animal rights movement.
The film is about animal rights activists who break into laboratories and
other facilities to provide previously unseen footage of the way animals are
used.
It includes well-known names within the animal rights movement, some of whom
have been imprisoned for taking direct action. The story of Jill Phipps, who
was killed when she fell under a lorry while protesting against the live
export of animals, is told, with her mother saying, "They call us terrorists
but the reality is that over the years four animal rights activists have
been killed during protests."[2]
The UK première was held on September 7, 2006 at the Exeter Phoenix Arts and
Media Centre. Keith Mann gave a talk and answered questions. Mann and others
have since toured the film extensively worldwide, organizing screenings in
local cinemas and at animal rights events.[3] The Calcutta The Telegraph has
said about the film: "Regardless of what one thinks about the tactics of the
Animal Liberation Front, the film is an extraordinary one that is well worth
watching" Animal Liberation Front
