The Most Intense Demonstration Ever
Moments in Animal Rights History
•
38m
This demonstration plays like an action flick as hundreds of followers of Direct Action Everywhere surge into the San Francisco Ferry Building, an historic structure that has become a favorite foodie destination with rows of boutique shops. UnchainedTV's Jane Velez-Mitchell was literally the only news reporter chronicling this wildly intense and breathtaking action in 2017 and brings you the footage as it happened in real time. We could say more, but this mini-doc speaks for itself. One of the big questions is: why did mainstream news media ignore this extremely newsworthy and visually captivating event? Could it be that they didn't want to upset their advertisers? Could it also be that the people who decide what's newsworthy and what isn't didn't want to confront themselves? Watch and decide for yourself. FYI, this video was shot in 2017 and some of the titles of the organizers have changed. For more information, visit: https://www.directactioneverywhere.com
