Food, Inc.

Sat, June 6: 12:00 PM

In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner talks to best-selling authors Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (Omnivore's Dilemma) to lift the veil on our nation's food industry—a nexus of mechanized farms, engineered food, and unhealthy practices that's been effectively hidden from American consumers by slick public relations and slack government regulation. This eye-opening documentary explains how unfettered corporations exploited laws and subsidies to create wholesale monopolies, and explores how modern developments in food production pose grave risks to our health and environment. Robert Kenner. 2008. 94 m. NR. US. Magnolia Pictures.

Q&A June 6, 12:00 noon: Director Robert Kenner and author Eric Schlosser will be interviewed by New York Times critic Janet Maslin. Award-winning filmmaker Robert Kenner, recipient of the 2006 Peabody, the Emmy and the Greirson Awards for his previous film Two Days in October, worked for over six years to bring Food, Inc. to the screen. Co-Producer/Food Expert Eric Schlosser is an investigative journalist, best-selling author, playwright, and a correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly.
