Pig Business (76 minutes, 2009) In English and Polish Four years ago, seasoned campaigner, eco-warrior and mother of three Tracy Worcester set out to discover who was paying the true price for the cheap imported pork for sale in Britain`s supermarkets. Documenting her investigation into intensive pig farming and the damaging impact it is having on the quality of our food, the environment, and the health and welfare of agricultural communities, True Stories: Pig Business follows the filmmaker as she infiltrates farms in Europe and America and confronts the biggest firm in the pig business. The film reveals that these huge meat factories overcrowd and mistreat the animals, put small farmers out of business, and pollute the water and air, endangering the health of local residents and consumers.	14	15 (event) Green Leviathan Reborn? Authoritarianism and the Contradictions of Ecological Crisis Start: 2010-01-15 3:30 pm http://www.uregina.ca/cgi-bin/WebEvent3.05/cals/webevent.cgi/webevent.cg... Friday, January 15, 2010 PoliSci lecture: Green Leviathan Reborn? Authoritarianism and the Contradictions of Ecological Crisis Department of Political Science Presents “Green Leviathan Reborn? Authoritarianism and the Contradictions of Ecological Crisis.” Dr. Simon Enoch Friday, January 15, 2010, 3:30 p.m. Classroom Building – Room 431 Abstract: Both corporate and government responses to ecological crisis are increasingly taking on an authoritarian and militaristic tone. Liberal democracy is thought to be too fragile and too cumbersome to ensure the continued viability of the human environment. To combat this, it is urgent that we understand the essential relationship between democracy and true ecological sustainability. Failure to do so leaves us ill-prepared as citizens to defend against those that would seek to impose authoritarian solutions as the only viable response to ecological crisis. Biography: Simon Enoch is the Director of the Saskatchewan Office of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. He holds a BA Honours in Political Science from the University of Regina, a Masters in Labour Studies from McMaster University and a PhD in Communication & Culture from Ryerson University.
