Stories about animals and the people who help them: a successful community effort to protect migrating toads, the 1983 protests that ignited the modern day animal rights movement, a kitten rescued from the middle of a busy road, a visit to a factory pig farm. There are also tributes to animal rights philosopher Prof. Tom Regan, singer/pianist/composer (and animal activist) Laura Nyro and Sen. George McGovern whose 1977 Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs put plant-based eating on the political map.
