The horrible backstage of the American food industry.
Eye-opening and heartbreaking! Writer/director Robert Kenner, in collaboration with Magnolia Pictures, works with author Michael Pollan to bring to life a documentary that offers a behind-the-scenes look at the American food industry. Needless to say, the image they paint is highly disturbing. What you know and what you think you knew collapse. What you care about and what you should be caring about while eating or feeding others will start raising doubts as you keep watching.
The way we treat animals, what we feed them, what we put on our table and how the industry works becomes a mind-bending reality within our reality and surfaces our ignorance and “The Matrix” we live in.
Kenner and his team infiltrate the food industry, using both poetic and harsh visuals, as well as interviews with politicians, industry executives, and victims of what is advertised as “healthy food,” to embarrass the world’s biggest food industry powers, hoping to bring about change for both animals and people alike. Did they, though?
Unfortunately, not the desired one. Obesity is at skyrocketing levels worldwide, and to this very day, fast food is constantly in demand. Oh, and it’s no longer even affordable. Why is this? The information is out there. Now we know more than ever. We know! Thugs and gangsters in suits, under the guise of lawmakers and law representatives, pull the ropes as behind-the-scenes puppeteers. We know! Why does it feel like we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes we already know we are making? It is heartbreaking for people and animals alike.
