Chew On the First Three Minutes of 'Food, Inc.'
What are you eating?
While I think features such as this for narrative story-telling hurts films, I think it is quality marketing for documentaries that need to go the extra mile to attract an audience as Magnolia Pictures has released the first three minutes of their upcoming "you don't know what you are eating" doc Food, Inc.
The tagline for the film is "You'll Never Look at Dinner the Same Way," which may actually be something that deters audiences from watching as "the less you know" seems to be the motto for so many fast food fetching Americans. Food, Inc. hits theaters on June 12 and is said to expose the highly mechanized underbelly that's been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and our own environment. Food, Inc. reveals surprising — and often shocking truths — about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here.
You ready to watch? Put down the fries and Big Mac and give the opening credit sequence a peek. I have also added the trailer above and to the right.
