The Smell of Money

The smell of money is a pungent odor in eastern North Carolina, where the world's bacon and barbecue are produced. However, for Elsie Herring and others living near giant pig factories, the smell is a call to action against generations of injustice. When a corporate hog farm moves onto land her grandfather purchased, Elsie decides to fight back, sparking a nine-year legal battle against the world's largest pork company. The struggle is about reclaiming rights to clean air, water, and a life free from pollution, and it's a testament to the power of love and community to overcome even the largest forces of injustice.
