Description

We continue our conversation with Will Potter, the author of Little Red Barns, an investigation into the state repression of journalists, environmentalists and animal rights activists who attempt to expose the harms of the U.S. factory farming industry. “This is a corporate versus the people issue,” says Potter, who explains how the exploitative agriculture industry pollutes the environment, abuses animals and partners with law enforcement to criminalize activist movements, all while promoting a “fascist” myth of the “happy farmer and the American countryside.”
