The idea behind the film
The film's protagonists are fighting on the front battle line for the lives of more than 3 million foxes and minks killed on fur farms every year.
The film footage captures the behind-the-scenes efforts of the investigative group, who have been exposing the scale of injustice and suffering that humans inflict on animals for more than a decade. Their goal is simple: to secure a national fur farming ban in Poland. Bogna, Aleks and Angelika face two powerful opponents: the fur lobby and the bureaucracy.
What does the work of an activist investigator look like? Where do rescued farm animals go? What else can be done to jolt society? The task is difficult, and clock is ticking. Each year means millions more lives lost.
Out of sight, by the forest is a story of tenacity and the fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.
The film is not explicit in its depiction of animal cruelty. This theme is present, but it is presented in a minimalist way.
