"Humans and Other Animals is an excellent examination of our complex and contradictory relationships with other animals. Through rigorous research and compelling storytelling, it challenges our treatment of other animals as well as our beliefs and values about them. Equal parts intellectually and emotionally engaging, this documentary is required viewing for anyone who seeks to understand not only how we interact with other animals but also how our most deeply held scientific and ethical assumptions interact with our everyday attitudes and behaviors."

"This is a well-researched documentary that takes both empirical data and theories seriously. We see philosophical arguments clearly articulated, objections carefully considered, and moral implications provocatively raised."
Alison Suen, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Iona University, Author, The Speaking Animal: Ethics, Language and the Human-animal Divide
"Humans and Other Animals" offers a nuanced and compelling examination of the communicative and ethical relationships between humans and other animals. Through a combination of expert interviews, personal narratives, and evocative imagery, the film interrogates the cultural boundaries that shape our understanding of interspecies interactions. This documentary is an important contribution to the fields of critical animal studies and communication; I highly recommend it to scholars, students, and anyone interested in critically engaging with the complexities of human-animal relations."
