Tracy Worcester



Tracy Worcester is a former actress and environmental campaigner. Her hard-hitting documentary film Pig Business is provoking ire among American big business as it alleges their intensive farming techniques are responsible for environmental pollution, animal cruelty and health problems for workers, nearby residents and the broader community.

Tracy actively supports efforts to shift ideas of ‘progress’ and ‘development’ away from the dictates’ of banks  and giant corporations who put economic growth before the well-being of people and planet. She believes that one vital way to return power to citizens and communities is by supporting informed shopping and banking choices.

To this end she has been networking, fund raising and producing films to promote local, sustainable economies, particularly in relation to food. Her films include Is small still Beautiful? in India, The Politics of Happiness in Bhutan, and Pig Business which charts the rise of the factory farm in the USA and the spread of the industrial model across the globe and reveals the true cost of cheap meat.
