"From splashing fake blood in fur shops to initiating undercover investigations of animal cruelty, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is an organization that has been as controversial as it is influential. This HBO special takes viewers inside the multimillion-dollar organization and the determined and very private individual at its heart, founder and leader Ingrid Newkirk. With unprecedented inside access, this film probes Newkirk's uncompromising views on the sanctity of animal life, and the sometimes radical means she goes about attaining it. Offering a comprehensive account of the inner-workings of PETA and its critics, this documentary includes graphic footage of animal cruelty that is necessary given the film's subject matter, but nevertheless difficult to watch."
