Sentient plot

With access to rarely seen footage from high-security laboratories and compelling testimonies from researchers, whistleblowers, and policymakers, this documentary opens up a world that usually remains behind closed doors. At its center is the personal journey of Dr. Lisa Jones-Engel, who, after decades of research with primates, began to question the moral and scientific foundations of her work and emerged as an advocate for animal welfare. What does it mean to harm animals in the name of progress? And what does that do to a person?
