- StarsPeter HamiltonThese were the first vivisection videos taken by an organization who wants to stop animal experiments. In 1981 Lifeforce Founder Peter Hamilton and camera person Chas Leckie travelled to numerous research laboratories throughout Canada. The goal was to expose the secretive experiments on animals. The public taxpayers and donors have a right to know. These same and/or similar experiments continue today.
- DirectorAlex PachecoStarsAlex PachecoAn undercover investigation by PETA revealed animal abuse at a laboratory in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA.
- DirectorMyriam AlauxVictor SchonfeldStarsJulie ChristieRichard CourseSandy DennisThe film offers a comprehensive examination of the exploitation of animals in modern society.
- DirectorMarie CaroselloStarsPeter SingerTOOLS FOR RESEARCH erases our comfortable assumptions about the importance of animal research, and carefully documents answers to the questions we should ask about the use of animals in laboratories. How many animals are used each year? Are hey protected by law? Aren't animals used only in research to save human lives? Is it necessary to use animals? Who profits?
- DirectorPeter HamiltonAlthough monkeys are not native to North America and many other countries, millions of them have been imported. They were caught in the wild and sold to vivisection laboratories. This video depicts common experiments that continue in experimental facilities to this day.
- DirectorIngrid NewkirkAlex PachecoStarsIngrid Newkirk26-minute excerpt from films made by the researchers themselves at Dr. Genarelli's head injury laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania. The tapes were secretly taken by members of the Animal Liberation Front and brought to the attention of the press and Congress, which led to the closing of the lab. The film shows painful experiments: baboons strapped on a table have crashing blows administered to their heads, while scientists smoke and listen to music. These experiments had been conducted for 15 years at the expense of 12 Million dollars, funded by the tax payer.
- DirectorJavier BurgosStarsBob BarkerJavier BurgosRobert S. MendelsohnFilm that affords you a glimpse into a world you were never meant to see: the hidden world of animal experimentation where grant-hungry, pseudo scientists are responsible not only for the torture of millions of animals, but also for the systematic destruction of our health and the collapse of our economy. Hidden Crimes includes the secret footage that the Animal Liberation Front took at animal research facilities in California and Pennsylvania.
- StarsIngrid NewkirkAn investigation of an AIDS research facility called SEMA prompted Dr. Jane Goodall, the world's foremost primate specialist, to call for its closure and the suspension of experiments using chimpanzees. After the exposé was featured on national television, SEMA stopped total-isolation confinement of baby chimpanzees.
- DirectorLori GruenThe story of Britches, a little monkey whose eyes were sewn shut after birth due to a cruel experiment. Fortunately, she was rescued by the Animal Liberation Movement (ALF).

- StarsCandice BergenBelinda CarlisleJane GoodallNarrated by actor Candice Bergen, this videotape celebrates the achievements of PETA's first 10 years.
- DirectorStefan EckartMark M. RissiStarsStefan EckartPaul GünterMark M. Rissi discusses the collaboration between the international business mafia and Swiss pharmaceutical and research facilities in procuring dogs and cats for laboratory experiments. The ethical question arises: should drugs tested for effectiveness and reliability on entirely different species be permitted? Between 1979 and 1990, some research institutes and universities displayed significant negligence, using dogs and cats not specifically bred for research. This points to a fundamental failure on the part of control authorities. Traders have been proven to supply established laboratories with stolen, captured, and often mentally unstable dogs, accompanied by falsified papers.

- DirectorTim PhillipsStarsJan Creamer
- StarsJill PhippsExploring the ideology of the international group Animal Liberation Front (ALF), which strives to prevent the mistreatment of animals by humans, especially in the fields of laboratory experiments and industrial breeding. They frequently employ illegal methods but consistently prioritize non-violent forms of action. The document provides essential information about the ALF, offering a clear and concise explanation of their ideology and political stance.
- Shamrock Farm was Europe's largest import and quarantine center, supplying primates to vivisection laboratories, including Huntingdon Life Sciences. It was the target of massive protests by various animal rights and animal liberation groups. This film was made as part of the "Save the Shamrock Monkeys" campaign, which culminated in 15 months of demonstrations in 1999 and led to the closure of the facility.
- DirectorTim PhillipsStarsVincent BrimbleThe National Anti-Vivisection Society entered London's Institute of Neurology, Westminster, and Charing Cross medical schools, capturing brutal footage of animal suffering.
