The story

The film follows investigative journalists at The Center for Investigative Reporting as they uncover efforts by sovereign powers, private finance, and mercenary groups to take control over global food and water supplies in preparation for potential production collapses due to climate change. The film outlines how several nation states and other actors use force, economics, and illegal mercenaries to take control of food and water stocks. The narrative begins with the 2014 purchase of US-based Smithfield Foods by Chinese WH Group, which the filmmakers say gave WH Group ownership of over a quarter of all pigs in the US.
