Swine Country
Swine Country depicts large-scale corporate farms in eastern North Carolina that adopted Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) in the late 1980s. These farms create dirty water and air and unacceptable living conditions for those who live nearby. They who run these commercial factories have been unwilling to change their waste disposal practices, no matter how damaging they are to waterways, fields and human health.
Discussion leaders Tom Clement, director of the film, and Frederick Tutman, grassroots community advocate for a cleaner Patuxent River, and Kathy Phillips, Assateague Coastkeeper will discuss what citizens can do to influence agricultural pollution.
