Russell Simmons To Host “Bold Native” Film About Animal Liberation Front
Written by Vegetarian Star on July 22nd, 2010 in Animal Issues, Film & TV, Videos.
Russell Simmons will host the New York City premiere of Bold Native, a fiction film about the animal rights group Animal Liberation Front.
The combination of film screening and press event is Monday July 26 at 6 p.m. at Anthology Film Archives, 32 Second Avenue (at 2nd Street), in New York City. The film begins at 7 p.m and doors will be open to the press at 6 p.m.
Bold Native tells the fictional story of an ALF member wanted by the government for domestic terrorism and his CEO father trying to find him before law enforcement does. Other story lines in the movie include an activist campaigning for better treatment of farm animals.
“We need more creative, fun, impassioned and entertaining movies like Bold Native to drive the important message of animal rights to the masses,” Simmons, who will be available for interviews and photos during the screening at 6:15 p.m., said.
The trailer for Bold Native can be viewed below.
Bold Native also incorporates real life footage of undercover investigations at farms and labs.
“Bold Native is first and foremost an adventure story about people who risk their freedom for the lives of the innocent and defenseless,” said writer/director Denis Hennelly. “While it’s a film about a serious subject, it’s also a celebration of life, so it has a sense of humor and playfulness that people don’t expect.”
