Sensitively depicting scenes of euthanasia, abused and neglected animals and everyday abandonment, The Power of Compassion stresses the urgency of the pet overpopulation crisis. While aimed primarily at teenagers--those who offer the best hope of reducing the number of animal shelter cases now and in the future--this compelling documentary strikes both intellectual and emotional chords with all audiences. In doing so, it offers key solutions to overpopulation and abuse issues while promoting a sense of compassion towards all living creatures--human and non-human.
