The political documentary continues to be a force for information and alarm with Robert Kenner’s eye-opening and deeply troubling Food, Inc., a detailed examination of how the process of raw food production has mutated over the years in line with the growth of the fast food industry. With input from authors Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma) and Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Kenner exposes government complicity in a process involving corporate greed, disease and animal cruelty, and charts the increasingly negative effects the changes have had on the nation's health. Nominated for Best Documentary at this year’s Oscars, the film was narrowly beaten by last season’s The Cove. |
