Serious Green: Movies That Go Beyond Food Inc

[Season Burnett, KCCSAC Director]

(re-posted from Serious Eats)

This summer's Food, Inc. has brought food consciousness in the U.S. to
a whole new level. If Food, Inc. made you hungry for more info on food
production in the U.S., you should get your hands on one of the movies
below. These films range in theme from school lunches to genetically
modified foods. People can talk and write about food production and
industrial feed lots till they're blue in the face, but seeing
sometimes makes all the difference.

Food, Inc. was groundbreaking because it was the first enviro-food
film to be screened at major movie theaters across the country. But
the small, food-focused films that follow after the jump played at
independent festivals and then never seemed to get wide distribution.
Many are now available for viewing online or for purchase through
Netflix or Amazon.

Another way to get hold of these movies: Ask your library to buy a
copy, or request a DVD from the movie's website and, where licensing
agreements allow, set up a screening for your community.
