"An inspiring blueprint for anyone who is passionate about changing the world."

An inspiring portrait of Henry Spira, the most effective animal rights activist of the past twenty years.
While he might not be a household name, Spira took on companies that are. Virtually every shampoo or cosmetic product sold today has the words "Not Tested on Animals" on its packaging, largely due to Henry's efforts.
HENRY: ONE MAN'S WAY is a portrait of his life and his work. Admired and respected not only by his supporters, but also by many of his opponents, Henry had the foresight to propose positive outcomes for his opponents while at the same time advancing his own cause. His success, without any organization behind him, is proof that one person can make a difference.
This powerful film examines how Henry was able to bring the issue of animal testing into mainstream consciousness and change corporate thinking. His is an inspiring model of effective social activism.
The DVD version of this program is recorded on DVD-R which is not compatible with some older DVD players. See the new DVD page for more details.

Reviews:
"An inspiring blueprint for anyone who is passionate about changing the world."
The Australian
"A powerful and enduring portrait of this social activist's thoughtful and strategic approach to solving problems of great social significance...Highly recommended for junior high through adult audiences. A must for public and academic libraries." Pamela M. Rose, Health Sciences Library, SUNY at Buffalo, MC Journal
"The documentary...juxtaposes the abhorrent imagery of animal torture with Spira's coolly calculated campaigns: always specific in their demands, result-oriented, non-violent, and successful." The Metropolitan (Melbourne, Australia)
"Spira finds a lever and moves a boulder." The Republican
"You cannot help but feel inspired." Simon Huges, The (Melbourne) Age
