Our Role
Seedling Projects is spearheading dissemination and community engagement for the powerful UK made documentary, Pig Business. In March, 2011, Pig Business will be screened for media, NGOs, and non-profits in Washington DC following small screenings and events hosted by farmers, butchers, churches, not for profit chapters and restaurants around the city. The film shows the high price we pay globally for cheap pork, which we hope will create a lively discussion around industrial pig farming and its effects on the environment, our health and the welfare of small and medium-scale farmers.

Project Details
Pig Business is a film by seasoned campaigner Tracy Worcester who set out to discover who was paying the true price for the cheap imported pork for sale in supermarkets. Documenting her investigation into intensive pig farming and the damaging impact it is having on the quality of our food, she visits factory farms in North Carolina and Poland, interviews activist Robert Kennedy, Jr., former factory workers, farmers, and the largest industrial pig producer and processor in the world, Smithfield Foods. Watch the movie free streaming here or contact Shane to organize a community screening with a free DVD.
