The marchioness, the pig farmers and the £140,000 film about muck:

Martin Hickman profiles Tracy Worcester, the aristocratic activist who has infuriated the world's biggest pork producer. For the past five years, she has been researching, filming and narrating Pig Business, a feature-length documentary that examines Smithfield's system of intensive production.

Lawyers acting for Smithfield have been in conflict with Channel 4 over the 72-minute documentary, but now, Channel 4 plans to broadcast the film on More4 this week.

True Stories: Pig Business can be seen on Tuesday at 10pm on More4.

I haven't seen it yet ... but I see it's still available here: for another couple of weeks: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/pig-business/4od

What did you think? I'm always nervous about watching anything that says 'involves scenes of animal cruelty' ... I get soo upset by it.
