ANIMA

ANIMA

ANIMA is the soul or animating principle of a living thing. It is a universal element that all living beings possess. Whatever background one comes from, whatever name one uses for it, it is a universal force that demonstrates the interconnectedness of all beings. This short documentary film was created with the goal of decreasing violence against animals by raising awareness of that interconnectedness through understanding what different faiths teach about compassion, animals, and the environment. ANIMA features leaders across religious and cultural backgrounds including: Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Jainism, the Baha’i, and members of First Nations/Native American communities.
