Welcome to Our Hen House.

This is Jasmine Singer.

And this week, Marianne, we'll be speaking with Louis Sohoos, renowned photographer and filmmaker behind The Cove, the Game Changers, Racing Extinction, and more.

So not that, you know, not not that fancy of a guy, not too many credits under his belt.

Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Unbelievable the impact he has had. And really nice guy. I think when I interviewed him, he had just gotten off a very long

play. He was completely jet-lagged. But we had a long, engaged, fascinating conversation. He's so

as well because they're doing an enormous push on this new version of animal liberation.

I think it's called animal liberation now. And it's a very big deal. That book had an enormous

effect on me. It had an enormous effect on a lot of people,

and it desperately needed updating, because things have changed, and he knew that, and so he's

really, really updated. Things have changed both on what's happening to animals, a lot of which,
