Food, Inc. Magnolia Pictures Magnolia Home Entertainment Food Inc lifts the veil on our nations food industry exposing how our nations food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health the r / livelihood of the American farmer the safety of workers and our own environment Food Inc reveals surprising and often shocking truths about what we eat how its produced and who we have become as a nation r / r / span class h1 Q A with Producer/ Director Robert Kenner Co-Producer/ Food Expert Eric Schlosser Food Expert Michael Pollan and Producer Elise Pearlstein r / / / span How did this film initially come about / r / Kenner / Eric Schlosser and I had been wanting to do a documentary version of his book em Fast Food Nation / em And for one reason or another it didnt happen By the time em Food Inc / em started to come together we began talking and realized that all food has become like fast food and all food is being created in the same manner as fast food / How has fast food changed the food we buy at the supermarket / r / Schlosser / The enormous buying power of the fast food industry helped to transform the entire food production system of the United States So even when you purchase food at the supermarket you re likely to be getting products that came from factories feedlots and suppliers that emerged to serve the fast food chains / How many years did it take to do this film and what were the challenges / r / Kenner / From when Eric and I began talking about 6 or 7 years The film itself about 2 years It has taken a lot longer than we expected because we were denied access to so many places / Pearlstein / When Robby brought me into the project he was adamant about wanting to hear all sides of the story but it was nearly impossible to gain access onto industrial farms and into large food corporations They just would not let us in It felt like it would have been easier to penetrate the Pentagon than to get into a company that makes breakfast cereal The legal challenges on this film were also unique We found it necessary to consult with a first amendment lawyer throughout the entire filming process / Who or what influenced your film / r / Kenner / For most Americans the ideal meal is fast cheap and tasty Food Inc examines the costs of putting value and convenience over nutrition and environmental impact Director Robert Kenner explores the subject from all angles talking to authors advocates farmers and CEOs like co-producer Eric Schlosser Fast Food Nation Michael Pollan The Omnivores Dilemma Gary Hirschberg Stonyfield Farms and Barbara Kowalcyk whos been lobbying for more rigorous standards since E coli claimed the life of her two-year-old son The filmmaker takes his camera into slaughterhouses and factory farms where chickens grow too fast to walk properly cows eat feed pumped with toxic chemicals and illegal immigrants risk life and limb to bring these products to market at an affordable cost If eco-docs tends to preach to the converted Kenner presents his findings in such an engaging fashion that Food Inc may well reach the very viewers who could benefit from it the most harried workers who dont have the time or income to read every book and eat non-genetically modified produce every day Though he covers some of the same ground as Super-Size Me and King Corn Food Inc presents a broader picture of the problem and if Kenner takes an understandably tough stance on particular politicians and corporations hes just as quick to praise those who are trying to be responsible--even Wal-Mart which now carries organic products That development may have more to do with economics than empathy but the consumer still benefits and every little bit counts --Kathleen C

Fentons score is always on the money adding humor and suspense at crucial moments martial drums for the mud skippers woozy brass for the Darwins beetle Nonetheless delicate sensibilities may find some sequences disturbing as when Komodo dragons feed on a water buffalo or when a leopard seal dines on a penguin according to Attenborough the Komodo siege caused the camera operators emotional turmoil

With 12 chapters spread out over three discs and a total running time of more than nine hours not including bonus material the History Channels America The Story of Us is a sprawling primer on the

boast episodes devoted to major conflicts like the Revolutionary War the Civil War and World War II the more gradual but still significant developments that helped shape the nation like western expansion and the mass migration to major cities and the various elements and forces the discovery of oil the growth of industry engineering and infrastructure the development of the automobile and other means of mass transportation and of course the accumulation of vast economic and military might that combined to make the United States the worlds dominant superpower in the 20th century and beyond To the filmmakers credit the darker aspects of this history--slavery and racial strife the treatment of Native Americans the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII--are not given short shrift And while much of the material is dealt with in fairly broad strokes there are also various enlightening details in each chapter Who knew that George Washington established a network of spies who wrote notes in invisible ink in order to deceive the British or that the most valuable currency for those who first explored the West was beaver pelts A combination of reenactments photos CGI
