synopsis
Attacks by activists who crawl under fences and medialize the bleak conditions of animals raised in cages are no threat to the fur industry that knows how to deflect them. With Frank, a psychologist determined to infiltrate the system, comes a change of tactics. Using hidden cameras and his own video diaries, they expose the dangerously contagious realities of “natural” indifference to cruelty to animals at the expense of profits.
