Food, Inc.

(2008)

Robert Kenner directed and produced a shocking – at the time – documentary about the food industry. With careful, grounded accuracy, he shows how the production of food changed with the emergence of the fast-food industry in the 1950’s and 1960’s. How today multinational corporations own most of the production of food. How there are no more “seasons” in our supermarkets – you can purchase tomatoes, lettuce, fruit, and berries nearly year-round. Utilizing the superb talents of his director of photography, Richard Pearce, he takes his cameras onto farms, inside their fences, pens, barns, and homes. He goes inside corporate headquarters. He gets on camera just about every sector of the food chain, from workers in the fields, to processfactory safety inspectors, to heads of corporations or their lawyers. If you watch only one movie about food production it should be this one.
