In Eastern North Carolina, hogs outnumber people by as many as 35 to 1. The mega pork production facilities installed in the 1980s and 90s displaced small farmers and brought about a massive hog waste pollution problem that has severely affected the health and quality of life of local residents. This factory farm pollution disproportionately affects communities of color and is therefore but one example of environmental racism in the United States. Following in the footsteps of the environmental justice movement that was born in Warren County, North Carolina in the 1980s to protest the construction of a toxic waste facility, communities affected by factory farming and hog waste pollution have responded to this crisis in their region by fighting for their rights to non-toxic air, water, and soil. The videos below tell their stories.
