How the inedible parts of a pig can be turned into everything from shoes to hairbrushes.

Julia Bradbury goes on an eye-opening journey to find out how. She is joined by the young consumers who use these products, from a pair of fashionistas to a fitness fan, to uncover the surprising animal origins of our most popular items by following the transformation of each leftover body part all the way from the abattoir to the shop floor.
