The film begins in the UK, where Worcester discovers how supermarket labels are an unreliable guide to how and where pork has been produced. She takes us on a journey to the USA, Brazil and Poland and visits the offices of corporate leaders, European bureaucrats and banks. She finds policies that support a farming system of poor quality, damaging to the environment and which pushes traditional farmers out of business.
