Henry: One Man's Way (1997)

Abstract

Animal rights activist Henry Spira almost single-handedly put the issue of animal testing on the radar screen of everyday people and brought about a change in corporate thinking. This program profiles his life and work and offers a portrait of a focused social activist. "Admired and respected by not only by his supporters, but also by many of his opponents, Henry had the foresight to propose positive outcomes for his opponents while at the same time advancing his own cause. His success, without any organization behind him, is proof that one person can make a difference."
