“An absorbing, enraging and entertaining experience”
LITTLE WHITE LIES

“It is the kind of film everyone should see and it is information everyone should have. It is terrifying and empowering...just by watching it I felt I had done something for not only myself but my children as well.”

Stella MCCARTNEY, CO-HOST OF THE FOOD, INC. UK PREMIERE

“There is this deliberate veil, this curtain that’s drawn between us and where our food is coming from. The Industry doesn’t want you to know the truth about what you’re eating because if you knew, you might not want to eat it.”

Eric Schlosser – Author, Fast Food Nation

How much do we know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and serve to our families' Though our food appears the same—a tomato still looks like a tomato—it has been radically transformed.

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. is available to rent and buy from 7th June 2010.

About Good with Film:

Good with Film is Dogwoof’s central online community that ties together all of the social issues their films raise.

Fans of Dogwoof’s films use the online space as their main hub to share information. It’s an incredibly active group of people, vocal and passionate about social and environmental issues. They comprise of filmmakers, key influencers, opinion formers, non-governmental organizations, charities, celebrities and students, amongst others. Dogwoof is creating a community of content around social issue films, where the audience can interact online both before and after the film is released.
