Manimals, deals with the ownership of exotic animals by city-dwellers. Beginning on a humorous note, we experience the sights and sounds of people living with every kind of exotic pet imaginable. Later on, we begin to see others who are not so responsible with the care of these animals. Soon we begin to realize that a contradiction exists between the romantic fantasies of the owner and the broken, dispirited creatures we can plainly see. Raising many important issues concerning the motivations and intentions of these owners of exotic animals, Robin Lehman has created a powerful commentary on our consumer society and how it affects our attitudes toward nature. Produced and directed by Robin Lehman.
