Synopsis

"The smell of money"-that's what Big Pork calls the stench of pig waste in the air in eastern North Carolina, where much of the world's bacon and barbecue is made. But to Elsie Herring and others who live near the state's giant pig factories, the revolting odor is a call to battle against generations of injustice.
