My favorite documentary of the year is up for an Oscar. Food Inc. gives an eye opening look at the problems facing the American food system. Robert Kenner's honest approach promotes awareness and creates viewer empathy for the animals, farmers, land, and all involved. For many people this was their first glimpse at the monstrosity that is our food system and for most it proves too hard to ignore. There is a book of the same title that helps viewers dissect the film and take action.
There are other films that touch on this issue. You may want to queue up your Netflix or head to the local library and rent them for FREE!
- Fresh (with our very own Will Allen)
- The Real Dirt on Farmer John
- King Corn
- The World According to Monsanto
- Food Fight
- Our Daily Bread
