LOS ANGELES - TelAve -- Scientology Network's DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE, the weekly series providing a platform for Independent filmmakers to air films on important social, cultural and environmental issues, presents the documentary Right to Harm on November 14, 2025.

DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

Filmed across five rural American communities, Right to Harm follows residents living near large-scale industrial livestock operations—known as Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs)—as they face rising public health risks and limited recourse. A leading expert on sustainable agriculture refers to the issue as the "dark side of agriculture," a framing that underscores the stakes of the filmmakers' investigation into the human costs of industrial food production.

With local agencies often unresponsive, citizens take matters into their own hands, speaking out at public forums and organizing for change.
