7:00 Intro with Directors Robert Kenner & Melissa Robledo
7:15 Film: Food Inc. 2: Back for Seconds
FOOD INC. 2
Since the first Oscar-nominated film, Food Inc., multinational corporations have tightened their stronghold on the U.S. government. The system at large has robbed workers of a fair living wage, and profit focused corporations are proliferating a chemically formulated international health crisis by focusing on growing the market for ultra-processed foods.
The film centers around innovative farmers, future-thinking food producers, workers’ rights activists and prominent legislators such as U.S Senators Cory Booker and Jon Tester, who are facing these companies head-on to inspire change and build a healthier, more sustainable future.
“When we made the first Food, Inc., we thought that if viewers got to see how our food is made, we could change the food system one bite at a time. Fifteen years later, it’s clear that ethical shopping isn’t enough; that meaningful change is going to require breaking up the handful of very large and very powerful companies that dominate the food industry.”
— Robert Kenner and Melissa Robledo, Co-Directors
