Watch Magnificent Beast

Why are pigs such a despised animal? Humans and pigs share centuries of entwined history, a history that is both fraught and complicated. The filmmakers travel the world to answer this question, interviewing hunters, pet pig owners, farmers, and archaeologists. They show how the pig is unique in its strange and paradoxical relationship with us. Magnificent Beast is a journey into both our history as well as the pig's.
