Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara Will Pay You to Watch a Documentary About Factory Farming

Actors Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara are offering to cover the rental fees for the first 500 people who pre-order the documentary film "The Smell of Money," which sheds light on the environmental and animal rights issues associated with factory farming. The film focuses on a community in North Carolina impacted by a large-scale pig factory, highlighting the harmful effects on the environment, wildlife, human health, and local residents' quality of life.

Directed and produced by Shawn Bannon, the documentary has garnered support from Phoenix and Mara, who have a history of advocating for environmental and animal rights. The reimbursement offer is available to U.S. residents with a Venmo account as part of the couple's efforts to raise awareness and support the film's message.
