** Second Part:
In 2005, the building of the Oxford animal lab (in England - Oxford uni) brought about a battle between the animal rights activits who wanted to shut the place down vs the scientists who do medical research with animals other than humans.
Scientists in the area fear to speak about their research because of violent acts from a minority of animal rights activists. Mel Broughton, leader of Speak dedicates all his time to animal rights and vows to shut that lab down. But Laurie Pycroft, the founder of a movement called Pro-Test stands up to Speak, campaigning for the medical experimentation. He was sick of the anti-vivisectionists dominating the debate in the public forum.
The director of this documentary aims to hear out both sides of the debate, in order to decide if the experiments are effective and ethical.
