"The Smell of Money" Film Screening and Discussion

The gripping documentary "The Smell of Money" asks the question, "Who pays the price for what we want?" A century after her grandfather claimed his freedom from slavery and the family land, Elsie Herring and her North Carolina community fight the world's largest pork corporation for their freedom to enjoy fresh air, clean water, and a life without the stench of manure. The film explores of some of the most important tensions in our modern world: People versus profit; and the battle for environmental and social justice.
A Q&A with the writer/coproducer Jamie Berger (appearing via telecon) will immediately follow the film screening.
