Program Note

Destroy! Just buy it! Throw it away! Just ignore it and look away! For your own peace of mind! When the movie starts, a warning from the director pops up. "Contains very realistic scenes that may be emotionally challenging." To categorize it, Planet A is an environmental musical documentary. It contains scenes of animal slaughter that you might want to look away from. Music, subtitles, and animation are all used to convey the story of how animals become food in a compassionate way. The film covers a wide range of social issues, from animal slaughter, feminism, refugees and the disabled, LGBTQ issues, climate change, and war, with music from 15 musicians. (Songhee Kim)
