But to Elsie Herring and her community, it’s a call to battle against generations of injustice. When a corporate hog farm encroaches on her family’s land, Elsie fights back, leading to a nine-year legal battle against one of the world’s most powerful companies. This story highlights the power of community and the fight for justice, urging viewers to see the human impact behind the food on our plates.
