The Incredible Lives of Pigs

Most people think of pigs as nothing more than farm animals or breakfast, but their true story is much more complex. This journey follows the evolution of a species that is as intelligent as a young child and more adaptable than almost any other mammal on Earth. From the dangerous plains of Africa where warthogs face off against lions to the high-stakes world of Hollywood animal trainers, these creatures prove they are far more than their reputation suggests. The relationship between humans and pigs has taken many strange turns. While some cultures revere them as a form of currency and others avoid them entirely, modern science is now looking at them as potential lifesavers for human organ transplants. This documentary looks past the stereotypes to show the beauty, grit, and incredible survival skills of the world's most misunderstood animal.
