Oink

Synopsis

Oink explores man's relationship to pigs - the confused mix of violence and sentimentality from factory farming to having pigs as pets. Veering from a talking baby pig to live xenotransplantation, Ralph Steadman's cartoons for Animal Farm to wild hogs being machine-gunned from a helicopter, Oink is a mad journey from China via Brooklyn to Wiltshire reflecting on who we are and how we deal with the world around us.
