What people are saying

Employing a straightforward documentary approach, the case mounted leads to one conclusion... I for one will never be able to look at Smithfield bacon, Nathan’s hot dogs, or any of their brands without this reality uppermost in my mind.

Diane Carson

KDHX St. Louis

The Smell of Money lays bare a specific example of the tangled mess of economic and racial privilege which explains so much about why things happen the way they do in the United States.

Sarah Boslaugh

The Arts STL

In America these days, the injustice goes on even when the facts seem obvious, even when the fight seems won.

Roger Moore

Movie Nation

The Smell of Money is a richly human and emotionally honest film that finds its power in its truth and in the straightforward testimony of the residents who've fought back.

Richard Propes

The Independent Critic

Enraging, illuminating and heartfelt. It will make you think twice before buying pork at the supermarket.
