Animal testing has been the standard of scientific research and testing for centuries, in spite of a long history of ineffective results and unimaginable cruelty. Now, emerging technologies promise to revolutionize the field of biomedical research by rejecting the failing animal model in lieu of human-based in-vitro methods. Can these new models break their way into mainstream, or will they be blocked by a scientific community so deeply rooted in animal research? We Animals Media teamed up with the American Fund for Alternatives to Animal Research (AFAAR) and the New England Anti Vivisection Society (NEAVS) to produce this short film. Directed by Dr. Theodora Capaldo Filmed and edited by Kelly Guerin Produced by We Animals
