Featured review
Morgan Spurlock is back but thankfully is not again gorging himself on junk food to make himself sick to wean us all off junk food. Many may try to deny it but his first movie was seminal, and made a far bigger impact than many insiders are willing to admit. Not that it has stopped the junk food juggernaut, and this movie takes another step to raise points again on the inhumane parts of the industry.
To get it out the way, there have been allegations made against Spurlock from his personal life which are public which have overshadowed this documentary. This review is not the appropriate place to discuss them, but I can see why it led to a more muted response from some to its release.
Anyhow, Spurlock in this documentary is as affable and witty as ever, showing the chicken rearing and fast food industry reality, but also importantly the disgusting abuse of the farmers by the oligipolies who ultimately pull the levers. I liked the honesty and I respected the farmers in this too, but sadly there was no positive conclusion to the battle for the farmers. Hopefully that will come with support from this movie.
This film is not revolutionary as was the first one, mainly as Netflix has seen a huge growth in similar style documentaries in recent years which also have exposed the truth about the food industry. Nevertheless it's very informative and issue raising.
This film is not asking you to go vegan, it's just asking you in a friendly way to think again about our food industry. That is something to admire. I honestly would urge people to watch this. It has heart and is genuine. Biased maybe but the counter arguments are not going to wholly add up.
Go out, self serve and gorge yourself on this documentary. You'll learn something good, and hopefully will help play a part to direct the food industry into better practises.
