The Friends Committee on North Carolina Legislation (FCNCL) is organizing two showings of the award-winning documentary, The Smell of Money, at the nonprofit Chelsea Theater in Chapel Hill on Monday, April 15 and on Monday, April 22, both at 7 pm.
A century after her grandfather claimed his freedom from slavery and the family land, Elsie Herring and her North Carolina community fight the world’s largest pork corporation for their freedom to enjoy fresh air, clean water, and a life without the stench of manure. Watch the trailer here.
On each evening, a panel of distributor-recommended environmental justice experts will discuss how you can take action to improve the negative impact of hog waste management on nearby communities---many of whom are people of color.
On April 15, the panelists will include Rania Masri, Co-Director of the North Carolina Environmental Justice Network, and Sherri White-Williamson, the Director of Environmental Justice Strategy at the North Carolina Conservation Network and the Executive Director of the Environmental Justice Community Action Network in Sampson County.
On April 22, Sherri White-Williamson and Will Hendrick, Environment Justice Director at the NC Conservation Network, will be panelists.
Both panels will be moderated by Vernie Davis, Professor Emeritus of Peace & Conflict Studies at Guilford College.
These events are free to the public. Be sure to reserve a spot here online or call the Chelsea at (919) 929-8428 during business hours.
