Director and Activist Joey Carbstrong goes undercover with fellow activists to infiltrate and expose the deeply ingrained corruption and heartbreaking abuse that lies at the heart of the UK’s ‘pork industry’
A dangerous mission.
"Pignorant" follows former gang member turned animal activist, Joey, as he embarks on a three-year-long undercover investigation into the UK’s ‘pork industry.’ Joey takes us on an eye-opening journey to witness first hand what life is really like for farmed pigs in the UK - a country that claims to have some of the highest animal welfare standards in the world. The story centres around a dangerous mission to expose a long running, hidden aspect of the world wide pork industry - CO2 gas chambers.
“If I’m not willing to risk my life to expose what’s happening to them, then I don’t really care about it enough”
