Movie Screening - The Smell of Money

What is the price some pay for the world's pork? North Carolina residents take on one of the world's most powerful companies in a fight for their rights to clean air, pure water, and a life free from the stench of pig feces.

"The smell of money"-that's what Big Pork calls the stench of pig waste in the air in eastern North Carolina, where much of the world's bacon and barbecue is made. But to Elsie Herring and others who live near the state's giant pig factories, the revolting odor is a call to battle against generations of injustice. When a corporate hog farm moves in--uninvited--on land her grandfather had purchased after claiming his freedom from slavery, Elsie Herring decides to fight back. But as her rural community becomes the epicenter of the pork industry's explosion in America, Elsie's struggle to save her family's home and heritage turns into a battle against one of the world's most powerful companies and its deadly pollution.

Discussion opportunity and vegan snacks will be provided afterwards.
