Food, Inc
Food, Inc is a documentary film directed by Robert Kenner. Released in 2008, its primarily about how modern food production in America has become increasingly incorporated and removed from the small "family-owned" farm paradigm. It was primarily narrated by Michael Pollan, who is shown in the beginning of the film eating a hamburger which is followed by images of how chickens are abused by factory farming practices (now there's an Omnivore's Dilemma for you). It also features many interviews with Eric Schlosser of Fast Food Nation fame.
[edit] Plot
The film relies heavily on emotional appeals and manipulation to get its point across and the opinions of people adversely affected. Images of horrible factory conditions and a heart-wrenching story about a mom who lost her son to E. coli poisoning from infected beef make it a strongly emotional film — though, it's worth pointing out that an infection with something like that could occur due to, say, water poisoning, and could easily be prevented by actually cooking the food properly. Ironically, organic food is much more likely to contain E. coli than GMO food;[1] it turns out all those chemicals and pesticides are used for reasons. A large portion of the film is devoted to showing the practices of meat production factories, bordering on PETA-style propaganda. Towards the end of the film, organic food is presented as an answer to all of our agricultural problems, for whatever reason. There are arguments against Monsanto, seed patents, GMOs, and the film heavily argues for GMO labeling.
