PEACEABLE KINGDOM: THE JOURNEY HOME is a new documentary by the award-winning filmmakers of The Witness. A riveting story of transformation and healing, this groundbreaking film explores the awakening conscience of several people who grew up in traditional farming culture and who have now come to question the basic premises of their inherited way of life.

Presented through a woven tapestry of memories, music, and breathtaking accounts of life-altering moments, the film provides insight into the farmers' sometimes amazing connections with the animals under their care, while also making clear the complex web of social, psychological and economic forces that have led them to their dilemma.

Interwoven with the farmers' stories is the dramatic animal rescue work of a newly-trained humane police officer whose sense of justice puts her at odds with the law she is charged to uphold.

With strikingly honest interviews and rare footage demonstrating the emotional lives and intense family bonds of animals most often viewed as living commodities, PEACEABLE KINGDOM: THE JOURNEY HOME shatters stereotypical notions of farmers, farm life, and perhaps most surprisingly, farm animals themselves.

"I felt 'whole' after watching the film. It makes connections that I don't encounter in everyday life. It made me feel larger than myself, like I am a part of something bigger."

About the presentation...

How might our lives change if we listened more closely to the quiet inner voice that we call our conscience? And what sort of world might come into existence if more of us made that choice?

The day after the premiere of Peaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home at the Moondance Film Festival, the documentary's producer James LaVeck will join with film subject and former farmer Harold Brown to offer a presentation on the humbling and inspiring experience of attempting to align one's life with one's values.

Their presentation will include a short film-in-progress titled All the Difference in the World: A Journey of Conscience.

Documenting one of the largest animal rescues ever carried out in the United States, this film affirms the importance of taking action on an individual level, even when the scale of the problem being addressed is beyond comprehension.

This event includes a catered reception after the film and presentation. Come meet our creative team!
