By all accounts this is a disturbing title for a film..but for the animals this is An Eternal Treblinka, Emma Haswell animal rights campaigner and owner of Brightside animal sanctuary along with her friend Dianna Simpson took their camera on a covert film raid to a supplier of Pork and filmed this horrific footage, as a film maker I have never experienced such horror footage not since the days of Nazi persecution. I cried for days editing this film and was determined to let the pictures tell the story..their are no excuses for this kind of farming and no excuses to those that buy the pork from these suppliers.
