FOOD, INC. previously at Film Forum in New York City

“I gave up the thought of ‘reviewing’ the documentary and decided, instead, to exhort you: See it. Bring your kids if you have them.
Bring someone else’s if you don’t. The sheer scale of the movie is mind-blowing – it touches on every aspect of modern life.
It’s the documentary equivalent of THE MATRIX.”
– David Edelstein, New York magazine

“FOOD, INC. is part of a new generation of food films that drip with politics, not sauces…
The director Robert Kenner takes a sprawling look at the perils of Big Food.”
– Kim Severson, The New York Times

“More than a terrific movie – it’s an important one.” – Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

“Superb. An elegantly constructed and absorbing analysis.”
– Nicolas Rapold, Film Comment

“Kenner crafts an intelligent, visually compelling argument grounded in old-fashioned investigative research and journalism.”
– Maria Garcia, Film Journal International

“The film I have always been waiting for.” – Alice Waters, award-winning chef, author and natural food advocate

How much do we really know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and serve to our families? In FOOD, INC., producer-director Robert Kenner and investigative authors Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma) lift the veil off of the food industry – an industry that has often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihoods of American farmers, the safety of workers and our own environment. The filmmakers expose the highly mechanized underbelly that’s been deliberately hidden from the American consumer. They illustrate the dangers of a food system controlled by powerful corporations that don’t want you to see, think about or criticize how our food is made. FOOD, INC. also reminds us that despite what appears to be at times a hopeless situation, each of us still has the ability to vote on this issue every day – at breakfast, lunch and dinner.
