Land of Hope and Glory - Vegan documentary Labelled ‘UK Version’ of Earthlings
Land of Hope and Glory
The vegan documentary Land of Hope and Glory explores animal welfare inside UK farms.
The 2017 film is being hailed as the UK’s answer to the wildly popular, Earthlings.
What is 'Land of Hope and Glory' all about?
The 2017 vegan documentary gives us a rare, in-depth look at the UK livestock industry.
“to create a world where compassion towards non-human animals is the norm.”
Split into 5 distinct sections, the 48-minute farm exposé focuses on;
- Pigs
- Cows
- Sheep
- Birds
- Eggs
The vegan documentary features one hundred different UK farming facilities.
In the footage, film-makers unveil never-before-seen, undercover footage.
Unsurprisingly, the documentary contains extremely graphic and deeply upsetting images which expose the barbaric underbelly of UK agriculture.
Land of Hope and Glory may be a tough watch but it is essential viewing for all vegans and non-vegans alike.

What to expect...
Shockingly, the film features at least one RSPCA approved farm.
In the footage:
- We see day old calves being permanently separated from their mother.
- We witness tiny piglets having their tails docked without any sedative.
- We follow overcrowded slaughterhouse trucks carrying hundreds of terrified animals.
- We also learn about the filthy, cramped living conditions many farm animals must endure.
Many viewers will have no idea about the true extent of what they are supporting when they buy meat and dairy.

Why is this Film Important?
The release of Land of Hope and Glory marks a monumental step forward for veganism in the UK. The documentary gives us an unprecedented glimpse into the lives of farm animals in this country.
Despite the success of Earthlings, many claim that the animal abuse depicted in the 2005 US documentary does not take place in UK farms.
The creators behind Land of Hope and Glory have cited this disassociation with animal oppression as the driving force behind their film.
Tired of hearing the phrase ‘that doesn’t happen in our country,’ Surge have set out to lay bare UK farming practices.
Surge’s investigative efforts have provided irrefutable evidence that animals are being wildly mistreated on our own soil.
With this film, the UK vegan movement have an opportunity to bring the fight for animal liberation closer to home than ever.
