A further chance to see the documentary that’s had everyone talking. In Food, Inc,filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on the American food industry, exposing the highly mechanised underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of the government’s regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. The food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and the environment.
Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma, In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto) along with forward thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield’s Gary Hirschberg and Polyface Farms’ Joel Salatin, Food, Inc. reveals surprising – and often shocking truths – about what we eat, how it’s produced, and where the American nation goes from here.
