Annie Speicher & Matt Wechsler/2019/75 min/Sustainable Food & Agriculture, Health & the Environment, Environmental & Social Justice, Water
FILM DESCRIPTION: Through the riveting stories of five American communities, “Right to Harm” exposes the devastating public health impact that factory farming has on many of our country's most disadvantaged citizens. Known formally as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations—or CAFOs—these facilities produce millions of gallons of untreated waste that destroy the quality of life for nearby neighbors. Fed up with the lack of regulation, these citizens-turned-activists band together from across the country to demand justice.
