Movie Trailer


Synopsis

Redemption explores the dramatic history of the formation of the first animal welfare organization in the United States, which was founded by Henry Bergh in New York in 1866. It was an agency committed to helping animals, prosecuting cruelty and changing public attitudes about our non-human companions. But, something went terribly wrong.

Shortly after Bergh's death, and against his wishes, the organization he founded took over the contract to run New York City's animal control. The agency founded to save animals became the leading killer of healthy animals, setting off a downward spiral across the nation as other animal shelters followed after them.

Fortunately, the film goes on to show how communities all over the USA are revolutionizing their animal shelters, and ending the killing of healthy or treatable pets.

With a running time of 55 minutes, Redemption is a must-watch for anyone who cares about companion animals. Watch it here.
