Food, Inc
Dogwoof brings to UK audiences the much anticipated documentary Food, Inc., one of the US’ highest grossing independent films of the year, which has taken almost $4.5 million to date and is currently rocking the US food industry.
In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the consumer.
Our food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment.
We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, insecticide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of e-coli and we are riddled with widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.
Featuring interviews with experts such as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma), along with forward thinking social entrepreneurs such as Stonyfield Farms' Gary Hirschberg and Polyface Farms' Joe Salatin, Food, Inc. reveals surprising, and often shocking truths, about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here.
Food, Inc. will be released 12th February.
