FOOD, INC. - First Film of Environment Film Festival

Time	08 October · 19:00 - 21:00
Location	225 Murray St Hobart, Australia

The way we eat has changed more in the past 50 years than it did in the previous 10,000 years; that's the opening claim of this powerfully didactic documentary FOOD, INC. which looks beyond the supermarket shelves to see how the food Americans eat is prepared.

It's a shocking indictment of an industry which has been taken over by greedy, litigious, multi-national corporations who not only want to put small farmers and food suppliers out of business, they want to keep quiet about the dangerous practices they use in the slaughtering of animals for food and other farming practices.

It looks at the stories of a woman whose two year old son died of E-Coli poisoning after eating a hamburger; a Latino couple who simply can't afford to buy healthy food because it's dearer than junk food; and a small farmer sued by a giant company for wanting to use his own seed for planting; the company owns the rights to genetically modified soybeans.

You'll never look at dinner the same way again.

Showing on the big screen at the Hobart Activist Centre as part of Green Left Weekly's Environment Film Festival. Money raised goes towards producing the alternative newspaper Green Left Weekly.

Entry $12/$8 concession per film or $25/$15 conc for a festival pass.
