Event Details

We invite you to a panel discussion on the true costs of cheap meat following a special screening of Pig Business, an investigative documentary by UK filmmaker and local food activist Tracy Worcester.


Wednesday June 16, 7PM
Al Green Theatre
Inside the Miles Nadal JCC

Pig Business is the result of Worcester’s four-year investigation into the devastating impacts intensive farming is having on the environment, human health, rural livelihoods and animal welfare. Pig Business documents Polish resistance to large-scale factory farming and shows that consumers do have a choice — by choosing local, humanely produced and organic pork, consumers can support local farmers, animal welfare and the environment.
