Animals spending their entire lives behind bars. Lives waiting for their last moments in the cold air of slaughterhouses. And there, those suffering inside laboratories.

AFI, an organization working toward a world without lab animals, wants to listen to these voiceless beings and thus is hosting the <1st AFI Animal Film Festival>.

Through the language of film, we convey their voices, and envision a world where all life coexists.
