An Animal Factory Moves In. Could You Lose the Right to Fight Back?

Imagine being unable to open your windows, let your children play outside, or enjoy the home you've loved for decades. Then imagine a proposed law making it harder to challenge the company responsible. Jane Velez-Mitchell speaks with Morgan Janowicz of Poland's Green REV Institute about Toxic Neighbors, a documentary exploring what happens when industrial animal agriculture moves into a community—and residents decide to resist. Morgan explains why critics call a proposed Polish measure the "stench law" and argues that it could shift the burden onto residents to prove they are being harmed. The conversation connects the experiences of rural families with broader questions about clean air, corporate influence, animal protection, and who gets heard when government makes the rules. One documentary participant recounts losing the childhood home he hoped to return to after an animal processing facility changed life nearby. Alongside these personal stories, Morgan discusses grassroots organizing and the institute's campaign for plant-based meals in Polish schools.
