> HOW MUCH DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE FOOD WE BUY AT OUR LOCAL SUPERMARKETS AND
> SERVE TO OUR FAMILIES? EMMY AWARD-WINNER RICHARD KENNER LIFTS THE VEIL ON
> THE FOOD INDUSTRY... WITH SHOCKING RESULTS!
> You are what you eat.
> It is a simple expression that bears scary implications as you watch the
> acclaimed documentary, FOOD, INC. Director Robert Kenner draws upon the
> searing reportage of authors Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael
> Pollan
> (The Omnivore's Dilemma) to explore how modern developments in food
> production pose grave risks to our health and environment.
> These writers aren't radicals or even vegetarians (Schlosser admits that his
> favourite meal is a hamburger and fries), but they are crusaders when it
> comes to exposing problems and naming offenders. There are stories of
> heartbreak and outrage, but the film carefully channels these emotions
> towards opportunities for activism. Watching FOOD, INC. gives you a strong
> appetite for better meals.

> "The Age of Stupid"

> 'The Age Of Stupid’ is the new documentary-drama-animation hybrid from
> Director Franny Armstrong (McLibel, Drowned Out) and Oscar-winning Producer
> John Battsek (One Day In September, Live Forever, In the Shadow of the
> Moon).
> Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite (In The Name of the Father, Brassed Off,
> The Usual Suspects) stars as an old man living in the devastated world of
> 2055. He watches 'archive' footage from 2008 and asks: Why didn't we stop
> climate change when we had the chance?
> Runaway climate change has ravaged the planet by 2055. Pete plays the
> founder of The Global Archive, a storage facility located in the (now
> melted) Arctic, preserving all of humanity's achievements in the hope that
> the planet might one day be habitable again. Or that intelligent life may
> arrive and make use of all that we’ve achieved. He pulls together clips of
> “archive” news and documentary from 1950-2008 to build a message showing
> what went wrong and why.
