"Little Red Barns is a groundbreaking investigation of factory farms and the unprecedented measures being taken to hide their impact - on animals, public health, and the environment - from the public. Will Potter had planned to write a book about a troubling form of censorship, namely, a host of new 'ag-gag' laws that criminalize photographers and journalists as terrorists for their efforts to expose abuses on factory farms. But his work soon expanded into a much larger investigation of a nexus of political corruption and corporate power that works to silence protest and to obscure reality with propaganda. What emerges is a chilling account of the secret campaigns of weaponized storytelling being used to prevent us from seeing the ecological, public health, and authoritarian threats that these farms represent. Potter's journalistic practice of bearing witness took him to places he had never expected, from factory farms to fascist groups, from whistleblowing to censorship laws, political corruption and propaganda campaigns, and the book is an immersive, engaging personal account of the ups and downs of his journey.". 20250819.
