Reviews

  • "Animals in War shows the war as a humanitarian as well as an ecological disaster without borders, relevant to the whole world. The anthology’s creators convey this message through suffering animals caught in the middle of a human conflict, rather than through scenes of combat."
    Cristen Hemingway Jaynes, EcoWatch
  • "I implore you to see Animals of War. Come for Sean Penn, stay for the incredible Ukrainian minds who brought it to life."
