SUMMARY:The Smell of Money: Documentary Screening + Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Cucalorus Film Festival* is showing the feature documentary The Smell of Money on Thursday\, November 17th at 7pm in Thalian Black. Following the film\, guests will be invited to move into City Council Chambers for an hour-long discussion of the film featuring NC Environmental Justice Network’s Naeema Mohammad\, Cape Fear River Watch’s Kemp Burdette\, and filmmaker Shawn Bannon. The discussion will be moderated by Erin Carey\, Director of Coastal Programs at North Carolina Sierra Club.  \nPlease purchase tickets in advance to reserve your spot! After tax\, tickets cost about $25 if you are not a Cucalorus pass holder. You can purchase your tickets here. \nAbout the film: \nThe Smell of Money is an 84-minute feature documentary from award-winning filmmaker Shawn Bannon. The Smell of Money‘s international premiere was at Hot Docs in Toronto\, Canada where it received the Top 5 Audience Award and the film recently won the Best Life & Liberty Film at Sidewalk Film Festival.  \nWhen a corporate hog farm moves in––uninvited––on land her grandfather had purchased after claiming his freedom from slavery\, Elsie Herring decides to fight back. But as her rural community becomes the epicenter of the pork industry’s explosion in America\, Elsie’s struggle to save her family’s home and heritage becomes a battle against one of the world’s most powerful companies and its deadly pollution. After decades of defeat\, Elsie\, her neighbors\, and a gutsy small-town lawyer take the world’s largest pork company to court. The residents risk everything for their rights to clean air\, pure water\, and a life free from the stench of shit. A story about the power of love for one’s family and community to triumph over colossal forces of injustice\, The Smell of Money calls upon viewers to see the people behind what’s on our plates––and to join the fight for a better future for us all. \nAbout the panelists: \nNaeema Mohammad has been Organizing Co-Director with NCEJN since 2013 and now serves as Senior Advisor.  She has worked on two NIEHS funded grants.
