Synopsis
Remember when it was more important for a peach to taste good than to look good and last for a month? This fascinating documentary explores the grass-roots battle to reclaim the food we eat from corporate agribusiness and the biotech industry. Filmmakers Emiko Omori and Jed Riffe have won Emmys and documentary awards at Sundance, the Munich International Film Festival, and more. Now they focus on the hidden costs and hazards of fast foods and factory farms, as well as showing tasty, organic alternatives. Featuring Alice Waters of Chez Panisse and a host of small farmers, teachers, and community marketers.
