The Martin’s Act at 200 audio documentary is a collaborative endeavor between Martin Rowe and the Culture & Animals Foundation and the writer Alex Lockwood. It is co-produced by Ryan Rhodes and Alex Lockwood; with the voice talent of Ryan Rhodes and Peter Egan; and with archival recordings of Rachel Carson, Jim Mason, Peter Singer, and Donald Watson, and especially recorded interviews with two dozen historians, activists, and theorists.

Our ambition in marking the bicentenary of Martin’s Act is to chart its history and legacy, and to generate new thinking and debate on the future of human–animal relations especially in regard to animals and the law.
