Tobacco reigned as the king crop industry in North Carolina for many years. In the mid-80s, hogs became big business as well. However, the hog farming industry provided social, political, and environmental concerns for the state. This documentary produced in 1995 explores the questions raised over pigs, politics and pollution.
