“As you read this, there is a hidden world of indescribable suffering going on behind closed doors. If you get close enough, you can hear the screams of non-human animals who are desperately trying to escape their egregiously cruel and unjust fate: to be part of an exploitative and heartless machine so that humans can profit off of their bodies. These beings are, indeed, THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE, and now, finally, their story will be shared in an accessible, heartfelt, and empowering way. Liz Marshall’s multimedia platform – the film, website, and overall online presence – is filling a void in the world of social justice. Coming from a background in activism, Liz is the perfect creator for this endeavor. As her previous work has shown, she is full of passion, compassion, and has a unique artistic eye, allowing her to delve into the world she documents so that the viewer is not simply watching, but is living her film. THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE will be no exception. Featuring the breathtaking work of photographer Jo-Anne McArthur, this film is poised to become a movement unto itself. The changemaking that will inevitably come as a result of this groundbreaking film is going to be profound. Hold onto your hats, and let go of your preconceptions.”
