SPEAK & Lovin’ Spoonfuls Vegan Restaurant present a free showing of the 1990 March for the Animals Chronicle: A Day of Compassion, Commitment, and Celebration!
History was made on Sunday, June 10, 1990. On this day, thousands of compassionate people from throughout the United States assembled in our nation's capitol to send a message to Congress: "We stand together to insure justice for animals. Through our collective efforts, the voice of all other animals finally will be heard."
Experience this historic day by way of this non-graphic, good-for-all-ages documentary of the first-ever march for animal rights in the United States. This major event saw 55,000 activists converge on Washington, DC to announce the inception and the strength of the animal rights movement. This extremely motivational film features brief interviews with many luminaries who have defined our mission: Gary Francione, Tom Regan, Cleveland Amory, Ingrid Newkirk, Peter Singer, Neal Barnard, and others. Several supportive celebrities were also on hand at the march, such as Berke Breathed, Belinda Carlisle, and Grace Slick, to name a few. Witness activists from every state in the nation, with each state’s contingency identified and preceded by a state-specific banner. The camera work on this film was phenomenal, with photographers and interviewers following along the march route so as to provide a close-up perspective and a real-time on-site experience that’s unforgettable.
Soon after the 1990 march, the week of June 10th was declared Animal Rights Awareness Week. Tucson’s 33rd-anniversary celebration of the historic march will feature this vintage 35-minute documentary that is not available anywhere; not even on the internet. Our special event is open to the public and there is no entry fee. Lovin’ Spoonfuls will have food and drink available for purchase. There will be two showings of the film: one at 3:15 P.M. and again at 4:25 P.M.
