Film has rightly been called
the “most powerful" teaching tool available.

Focus on Animals is a humane education library program that connects concerned individuals with important and eye-opening animal welfare and rights films.

Through this vital program, we provide nearly 100 quality films on loan - free of charge and covering a wide range of issues - to humane educators, teachers, shelter staff, professionals, students and many others working to encourage a more humane world.

See below to include powerful films in your education program today!

Help us expand the film list~

We currently have over 25 films on the Focus on Animals "wish list" that entail copyright costs for library use; we hope to add multiple copies of these films through

ongoing donations to our program. 

Please consider making a "Bread & Butter" donation to help us make these valuable educational tools widely available to grassroots education efforts such as your own.
