The evidence he gathers leads to a rare prosecution and trial for animal cruelty, and a verdict that surprises nearly everyone.

Once the employee obtained the footage, he left his job and took the footage to the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department, who raided the farm. Prosecutors filed ten criminal charges of animal cruelty against the farm owners. See the film for the judge’s final verdict.
