Film Description:
A group of activists work for years exposing the true face of the fur industry. They visit hundreds of fur farms and publicized the images. It causes public outrage, but the industry’s PR department always calms the politicians and journalists, and nothing changes.
So, a new activist decides to steps up. He tells the fur industry that he plans to become a fur farmer. He is accepted and soon treated as an insider. Without anybody knowing, he films his training with a hidden camera.
Inside Fur is one of Scandinavia’s most discussed documentary films in the last years.
