Actor Idrees Degas on the Red Carpet shown with Kat Kramer
                                                  
Kat Kramer founded the film series in 2009. The series is
released under KnK Productions Inc. and is being used to demonstrate her thoughts and feelings towards these types of social issues.  

Kat’s father, Stanley Kramer was no stranger to socially conscious films, known for his work with “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner,” “On the Beach” and “Bless the Beasts and the Children.”  My hope is that the film encourages others to join forces in building a conservation community which can help put a stop to inhumane acts to animals.
