Imagine awakening one day to realize that the work you were trained to do since
birth, the life you had always imagined you’d lead, the very values that had
been taught in your family for generations, went against the deepest part of
your being.

In Peaceable Kingdom, we hear the riveting stories of people struggling with
their conscience around some of our society’s most fundamental assumptions.

An inspiring story of personal redemption, compassion, healing and hope,
Peaceable Kingdom is described by many of its viewers as “a life changing
experience.”

What if the things you were taught don't make sense anymore?

Harold Brown was a farm kid who loved animals.

"I’d have friends who took livestock to county fairs. And I realized I wasn’t
alone, because even these kids, too -- they cried when they auctioned off their
prize cow at the end of the fair... but you could never get anybody to talk
about it... I mean, the last thing you ever wanna be is weak. Weak farmers
don’t survive."


What if speaking the truth meant losing your community?

Howard Lyman, who turned his family's small organic farm into a massive feedlot
operation, learned too late that his success was destroying everything he
loved.

"How was I gonna go to my wife and say... maybe what we oughta do is get out of
this business? How was I going to go and talk to my friends about it when every
one of them was involved in doing exactly what I was doing? There was no support
mechanism, even if I went to my minister."


What if following your heart meant doing the impossible?

Lorri Bauston and her husband, Gene, investigated stockyards and found sick
animals piled on top of dead animals. What began as a spontaneous act of mercy
for a dying sheep grew into a lifetime commitment to shelter hundreds of
rescued farm animals and transform the way farm animals are viewed in our
society.

"You turn that sorrow into action, and for me it was just saving one. Just
saving one helped me cope. "
