Right to Harm synopsis:
Through the riveting stories of five rural communities, Right to Harm exposes the devastating public health impact factory farming has on many communities across the United States. The documentary chronicles the failures of state agencies to regulate industrial animal agriculture. Known formally as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations – or CAFOs – these facilities produce millions of gallons of untreated waste that destroys the quality of life for nearby neighbors. Fed up with the lack of regulation, disenfranchised residents band together to demand justice from their legislators.
