Released on February 29, 2004, Peaceable Kingdom was pulled from distribution by Tribe of Heart on July 7, 2005, due to an irresolvable ethical conflict between the filmmakers and one of the film's subjects. In the years that followed, what began as an effort to quickly revise and re-release the film evolved into a more extensive project. On September 26, 2009, the filmmakers debuted their new documentary, titled "Peaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home," which offers a more nuanced exploration of moral conflicts experienced by those who grow up in farm culture, as well as rare footage depicting the family bonds and emotional lives of farm animals. It also includes five new film subjects: former farmers Cheri Ezell-Vandersluis, Jim Vandersluis and Willow Jeane Lyman, and animal rescuers Cayce Mell and Jason Tracy. The stories of two of the original film's subjects, former farmers Howard Lyman and Harold Brown, are also included and expanded upon in the new film. "Peaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home" will be released on DVD in Spring, 2012.
