Alyssa Milano has signed on to executive produce the upcoming documentary “For The Animals: A Dogumentary,” directed by Sadhvi Siddhali Shree and Sadhvi Anubhuti.

Milano previously teamed with Anubhuti and Shree for the production of their 2022 documentary “Surviving Sex Trafficking.” The film will be distributed by Filmhub toward the end of 2023. “For The Animals” is a feature-length documentary about a small group of animal rights activists in Houston, Texas, dedicated to saving the lives of stray cats and dogs living on the street.

The group is led by twin sisters Tena Lundquist Faust and Tama Lundquist who are committed to helping stray animals Texas. Proceeds from the film will be used to help companion animals find homes and contribute to their welfare. “Working with Sadhvi Siddhali Shree and Sadhvi Anubhuti is always so fulfilling because their projects beautifully combine my love of filmmaking with my activism,” stated Milano. “This film is yet another opportunity to use my platform and my voice for the voiceless.

I hope it leads to forever homes for these stray animals.” Filmmakers Shree and Anubhuti are also Jain monks of the Siddhayatan Tirth spiritual retreat center based in Dallas, Texas. “There is nothing purer than an animal’s unconditional love,” Anubhuti said. “As Jain monks, we have dedicated our lives to raising awareness about non-violence and the importance of respecting all living creatures, uplifting their status, and seeing all souls as equal.
