Eleni Vlachos, member of one of my favorite vegan bands– Beloved Binge, is touring the country with her documentary Seeing Through the Fence. The film is described as exploring–through a series of interviews with random people, Vlachos’ family, and activists–the question of what prevents ethical principles from being advanced into action.
The tour stops in NYC on Thursday, April 17 with a 7pm screening at Bluestockings. Visit the movie website for a full tour schedule and more info on the film. You can also watch the film trailer on YouTube.

Eleni Vlachos–who you might know from vegan band
Beloved Binge (http://www.myspace.com/belovedbinge),
has made an awesome new documentary called Seeing
Through the Fence. We are co-hosting this screening
and Farm Sanctuary activist meeting with BMCC’s
animal rights group, CARE. The info is below.
Activist Meeting and Screening of Seeing Through the
Fence
Join us on April 16 for an activist meeting and
special screening of the new documentary, Seeing
Through the Fence, by Eleni Vlachos. After the
screening, there will be a Q&A with Eleni where she
will discuss how she turned her activism into
filmmaking, without ever having taken a class! We
will also discuss Farm Sanctuary’s current campaigns
and volunteer opportunities, as well as ideas for
creative advocacy.
Through a series of humorous and poignant interviews
conducted across the U.S. and in Greece with random
people, the documentation’s family, as well as
activists, Seeing Through the Fence explores the
role of food in modern society and our connection,
or lack of connection, with both the processes and
animals from which our food originates. Read more at
