Behind the little red barns dotting the landscape and decorating so many of the products we consume is a dangerous threat. Award-wining investigative journalist Will Potter will share from his 10-year investigation of factory farms and rising fascism. In his new book, Little Red Barns: Hiding the truth from farm to fable, Potter documents how Big Ag has used terrorism powers, censorship, and disinformation campaigns to hide its connections to climate change and the rise of authoritarian groups. It has received a starred review from Publishers Weekly and been praised as groundbreaking by The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, and others. Alta Journal said it “affirms the important role of investigative journalism in our society.”
