2009 AFI Dallas Film Festival - Food, Inc.

(USA, 2008, 93 mins)
35mm
Directed By: Robert Kenner

Robert Kenner wants to show you where your food comes from. He takes an unsalted look at America’s industrial food system—dirty, crowded cattle lots, genetically modified veggies, fast food chains and processing plants. The result isn’t very appetizing.

Kenner probes the secrecy that shrouds the food conglomerates (none would comment for the film), the control they have over contracted farmers, the idyllic family farm images they propagate over the reality of gigantic processing plants, and the might of legal departments that strong arm anybody who gets in their way.

Using hidden and handheld cameras and imaginative graphics, Kinner shows us shocking examples of both animal and farm worker abuse. The images can be grotesque, but he hopes they’ll make you consider where your dinner came from.
