The powerful film had celebrities like Russell Simmons and Adrian Grenier lending their support by posting on social media that it is a “must see movie” while Actress Nikki Reed boldly posted the following on her WhoSay:
“Just finished watching a profoundly moving documentary on animal abuse called Give Me Shelter. This particular film is so impactful and so educational as it tackles almost every category of animal issues/abuse: from puppy mills to elephant poaching, skinning Tigers to Circus’, testing on chimpanzees to eating horses.” Reed goes on to confess, “YES it’s uncomfortable. YES it made me cry. YES it’s excruciatingly painful. But how can we create awareness and inspire change without information?...I am so livid, so distraught so outraged by what I’ve just seen…Please, if you have a heart, watch this film.”
The after party to celebrate the release of the film to iTunesMovies, Amazon, Vudu, CinemaNow, and Netflix (May 1st) took place at Pearl's on Sunset Blvd. There, the cast and VIP guests were treated to a special surprise performance by actor Esai Morales, and MUSE band member, Dominic Howard (who jumped on drums!) It was a night to be remembered, and a pivotal moment to advocate change for animal welfare.
