Architecture for animals? You bet!
Want to watch a film with a goat in a bunk bed? Mark your calendars for Sept. 26 – Oct. 3 and join Elliot to stream Forever Home, a new film that carries you into the world of rescued farm animals and the groundbreaking architecture that’s changing their lives.
With bunkbeds for goats, a duckhouse hovering over a pond, and a chicken house that opens with the sun, architect Paul Drake is spurning convention by personalizing his designs based precisely on WHO his clients are: goats, ducks, sheep, cows, chickens – and soon: pigs!
The film will air on PBS in 2027, and for the past year, it’s been showing at film festivals (18 and counting) – but director Allison Argo has decided it’s time to share Forever Home with everyone!
A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY!
From Sept 26-Oct 3rd, audiences can watch this inspiring film from anywhere in the world, on their own time, in their own space. Tickets are $12 – and 25% will go directly to Piedmont Refuge’s Pig Project to build a specially designed home for pigs.
Viewers are invited to join Allison, architect Paul Drake, and Piedmont Refuge Director Lenore Bradford on Oct 3rd for a live conversation about the film, the animals, and how we can all work together to make the world a more compassionate place.
While the film is unique, its message is universal, and it is inspiring empathy around the globe. Forever Home has been invited to festivals from Estonia to Australia and throughout the USA, and here’s what audiences are saying:
“Forever Home is a must-see documentary for anyone who loves animals. This beautiful, heartfelt film is a ray of sunshine in times that can feel hopeless and heavy.”
“I love this film so much — it’s the tonic we need right now.”
“It’s the perfect film to share with the loved ones you’d like to plant a gentle, yet powerful, seed with.”
Six-time Emmy-winning filmmaker and animal advocate of 30+ years, Allison Argo set out to make a film that would be accessible to EVERYONE – one that would inspire understanding and respect for ALL beings. She’s also making the film available to sanctuaries around the world to share with their communities in order to deepen understanding and support for the important work they provide.
Now you can bear witness to this hopeful and subtly radical film that is changing audiences’ understanding of farmed animals.
