Summary
Queen guitarist Brian May has long been a critic of the practice of culling the badger population in the UK, which is used to stop the spread the of bovine TB. He believes the animals are being scapegoated and killed needlessly, and has sponsored a research programme into the causes of the disease. This documentary following the rock star as he takes his case to a sceptical farming community, hoping to persuade enough of them to back his radical plans to stop the cull and help cure the cattle.
