“The smell of money”-that’s what Big Pork calls the stench of pig waste in the air in eastern North Carolina, where much of the world’s bacon and barbecue is made. But to Elsie Herring and others who live near the state’s giant pig factories, the revolting odor is a call to battle against generations of injustice. When a corporate hog farm moves in–uninvited–on land her grandfather had purchased after claiming his freedom from slavery, Elsie Herring decides to fight back. But as her rural community becomes the epicenter of the pork industry’s explosion in America, Elsie’s struggle to save her family’s home and heritage turns into a battle against one of the world’s most powerful companies and its deadly pollution. After decades of intimidation and defeat, Elsie and her community team up with a gutsy small-town lawyer to take the world’s largest pork company to court. An epic, nine-year legal battle ensues, and the residents risk everything to reclaim their rights to clean air, pure water, and a life free from the stench of shit. A story about the power of love for one’s family and community to triumph over even the largest forces of injustice, The Smell of Money calls upon viewers to see the people behind what’s on our plates–and to join the fight for a better future for us all.

From poignant protest songs to fluffy Top 40 hits, music has always defined our culture. With such a powerful influence on all aspects of society, the messages and themes portrayed by musicians have long been considered dangerous to some. This documentary looks at how the censorship of music has shaped not only how we view art and how it’s made but who we are as consumers and free-thinkers.

A groundbreaking 1970 film directed by William Friedkin, based on the acclaimed 1968 Off-Broadway play of the same name by Mart Crowley, "The Boys in the Band" is notable for its portrayal of gay characters during a time when homosexuality was still largely stigmatized and marginalized in American society.
Featuring a talented ensemble cast, including Kenneth Nelson, Peter White, Leonard Frey, Cliff Gorman and Laurence Luckinbill, "The Boys in the Band" is a powerful and thought-provoking film that continues to resonate with audiences as a timeless examination of identity, friendship, and the search for self-acceptance.

Join us for an in-person screening of Nathan-ism, a film by Elan Golod, at the Yiddish Book Center. At the end of World War II, Nathan Hilu, the son of Syrian Jewish immigrants to New York, received a life-changing assignment from the U.S. Army: to guard the top Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg trials. This experience fueled a lifetime of artistic inspiration for Nathan, a virtually unknown “outsider artist,” who spent the next 70 years obsessively creating a visual narrative from his memories. Nathan-ism explores Nathan's relationship with his own stories, and the compulsion he has to share them with a world that doesn't always listen.
