What is the price some pay for the world's pork?

Smithfield Foods is the largest producer of pork in North America and its North Carolina facility processes tens of thousands of pigs per day, in a state where it is legal to spray untreated hog waste into the air. The Smell of Money is the unbelievable and appalling story of a multi-billion-dollar corporation poisoning the air, water, and lives of their own neighbours—most of them from the Black community. North Carolina community activists 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.
