SPECIAL GUESTS:

You are invited to come share an unforgettable evening filled with life-
changing stories of courage and personal transformation. Please join us for
the exciting West Coast Premiere of PEACEABLE KINGDOM on Friday, March 19th
at 7:00 pm at The Writers Guild Theater in Beverly Hills.

The World Premiere of Peaceable Kingdom, which took place on Feb. 28th at
Lincoln Center in Manhattan, sold out the 1100 seat Alice Tully Hall ten
days before the event. It was attended by Grant Aleksander, Hallie Kate
Eisenberg, Edie Falco, Peter Max, Moby, Rue McClanahan, three U.S.
Congressmembers, many state and local politicians, and journalists from The
New York Times, Good Morning America, and Reuters, among others.

Peaceable Kingdom is the second film from Producer James LaVeck and Director
Jenny Stein. Their acclaimed first documentary, THE WITNESS, screened at 25
film festivals worldwide, won six Best Documentary awards, and was described
by Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Howard Rosenberg as "one man's truth
that cries out for mass exposure." Eddie Lama, the subject of The Witness,
will be attending the Peaceable Kingdom West Coast Premiere.

ONE PERSON'S CHANGE OF HEART CAN CHANGE THE WORLD

At a time when public concern has never been greater about the impact of
factory farming on our health, our children, and the environment, Peaceable
Kingdom breaks generations of silence in the farm community, revealing long-
hidden dimensions of this unfolding national drama.

Why would a factory farmer leave his profession to become a farm animal
advocate? In Peaceable Kingdom, fourth generation rancher Howard Lyman
explains how he turned his family's small organic farm into a massive
feedlot operation, and learned too late that his success was destroying
everything he loved.

Why would anyone choose to devote their lives to rescuing hundreds of abused
pigs, chickens, and cows? In Peaceable Kingdom, Gene and Lorri Bauston share
the remarkable sequence of events that transformed them from concerned
citizens to founders of the nation's largest farm animal sanctuary.

Do farm animals have individual personalities? Do they feel joy, sadness,
fear, and love? In Peaceable Kingdom, fifth-generation family farmer Harold
Brown tells how Snickers, a very special sanctuary cow, knew just what to do
to help him heal deep-seated childhood wounds.

Weaving together themes of respect, forgiveness, commitment, and healing,
Peaceable Kingdom offers a vision of a more peaceful world that is well
within our reach.

A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

A 77-minute documentary feature, Peaceable Kingdom will screen at The
Writers Guild Theater at 7:00 pm, followed by a discussion with the
filmmakers and many of the film's subjects, including Farm Sanctuary
founders Lorri and Gene Bauston, former cattleman Howard Lyman, and former
farmer Harold Brown. A reception will immediately follow the discussion.
