You’ll meet a number of folks within the vast food system:
· A mother whose son died after eating a hamburger containing e-coli bacteria; learn how she’s fighting back.
· The Vice President of the Corn Growers Association; hear his passionate opinions about the changes corn farmers have experienced in the Midwest.
· A Virginia farmer working independently to raise grass-fed, organic chickens, pigs, and cows; watch his meaningful connection to the land and animals, and learn about his philosophy on providing food to his community.
· A Midwestern seed cleaner whose legal battle with Monsanto threatens his business; see the personal struggle this kind-hearted man endures to save an age-old farming practice from the hands of big business.
· Wal-mart executives; learn about the ways this corporate giant is responding to consumer demand for healthier food in the grocery aisles.

This film is teeming with emotional stories. You’ll experience the heart of so many real people along the food chain. Chicken farmers, immigrant workers, factory owners, organic farmers… The vastness of the system itself seems endless, while the stories anchor a rich and moving film.

You’ll want to bypass going home after this film. As the credits roll, you’ll surely be bursting to discuss, rant, and strategize ways to help with your friends.
