Green Screens at the Film Society of Lincoln Center presents “Pig Business“ – NY Premiere, One Night Only! Tuesday, July 14, 6:30 p.m. – with The Meatrix!

About Pig Business:

Four years ago, seasoned campaigner, eco-warrior, and mother of three Tracy Worcester set out to discover who was paying the real price for the cheap, imported pork on sale in Britain’s supermarkets. Pig Business follows the director as she infiltrates farms and firms in Europe and North America, uncovering maltreatment, mismanagement, and the damaging effects of intensive pig farming on our food, environment, health, and the welfare of agricultural communities.
