Critic Reviews

“Just finished watching a profoundly moving documentary on animal abuse called Give Me Shelter. This particular film is so impactful and so educational as it tackles almost every category of animal issues/abuse: from puppy mills to elephant poaching, skinning Tigers to Circus’, testing on chimpanzees to eating horses.” Reed goes on to confess, “Yes, it’s uncomfortable. Yes, it made me cry. Yes, it’s excruciatingly painful. But how can we create awareness and inspire change without information? I am so livid, so distraught so outraged by what I’ve just seen. Please, if you have a heart, watch this film.” – Nikki Reed, Actress
