Send us a textMy guest this week is Rebecca Cappelli is an award-winning filmmaker & public speaker. A French citizen and a mandarin speaking professional, Rebecca leads the non-profit project Let us be Heroes for the health of people, animals & the planet. She is the director of SLAY, a feature documentary about inhumane practices involving animals in the fashion industry. Rebecca went to China alone at 18 years old to study Chinese mandarin, then had to graduate in France because Chinese unis were not recognised internationally, then she moved back to China at 25. Her China dog is rescued from dog meat and he made her think more of how we treat animals, then in 2015 she had a spontaneous awakening She decided to turn to filmmaking to reach more people in 2018 (Let us be Heroes) and started to make SLAY early 2019. Her mission is to expose evil, and help people reconnect with their emotional intelligence through the power of cinematic communication.97% of fashion students surveyed after watching SLAY declare not wanting to use any animal skins in their careers (that was 37% before watching) Thanks so much Rebecca for the powerful work you do in raising awareness around animal welfare in the fashion industry and for creating a film that holds up a mirror to any of us who still buy clothes and accessories that contain animal skins.Thanks also for showing us how to open our eyes and make different choices for the benefit of the world we live in & for those sentient creatures we share the planet with.
