- McLibel is the inside story of the postman and the gardener who took on the McDonald's Corporation. Filmed over three years, the documentary follows Helen Steel and Dave Morris, anonymous campaigners who become unlikely global heroes. Struggling to defend themselves in the longest trial in English history, they face infiltration by spies, secret meetings with corporate executives, 40,000 pages of background reading, and a visit from Ronald McDonald. Using interviews with witnesses and reconstructions of key moments in court, the film examines the main issues in the trial: nutrition, animals, advertising, employment, the environment, and freedom of speech.
- The smallest country in Africa, Gambia, is running out of fish. Ever since Chinese fishmeal factories appeared there - most of them are processed into animal feed, sent to China and Europe. Despite the protests, big neo-colonial business flourishes, and the promises of new roads and hundreds of jobs turn out to be an illusory mirage. The stories of the fishermen Paul and Abou and the selling fish Mariam create an intimate frame for the story of the stolen development of West Africa and the compulsion to look for a better life in Europe.

Perdue is the third largest chicken corporation in the country, based out of Salisbury, MD.

- A new investigation into the European pig farming shows how the caged farming systems for mother pigs in the EU is just as gruesome as ever.

- A one-sided documentary features the director of Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) experimental facilities and the facility's head of animal supplies, both expressing fear of further attacks. The documentary presents never-before-seen archival footage and startling information about the militant branches of the animal liberation movement. It outlines the activities of these groups, from besieging vivisectors' houses to using leaf bombs and incendiary charges. It begins with interviews with activists from the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), known for non-violent sabotage and protests, but concludes with radical statements from individuals associated with groups like the Animal Rights Militia. The narrator subtly speculates, categorizing ALF and other non-violent activists alongside the more extreme factions.
- Chief of Compassion in World Farming, Philip Lymbery, traveled the world for over three years, in order to find out why the farming system has gone mad, and how it affects the food we eat.
