Serious Green: Movies That Go Beyond Food Inc

One film I'd add to your excellent list is The End of the Line, which is all about overfishing. I've seen the trailer and met Charles Clover, the author of the book on which the film is based. While I haven't yet seen the feature-length film, I've got it saved to my Netflix queue so I'll get it once it's released.

Great list! Another is: Big Sugar, a CBS documentary about the past and present of sugar. It explores slave-like conditions in present day sugar plantations, as well as sugars/soft drinks role in obesity.

Not *precisely* related to food, but sort of: "Beer Wars," which looks at the struggle small American craft beer makers face trying to compete against the giants.

Please also keep your eyes open for "What's 'Organic' About Organic?," a film that illustrates how the organic food debate extends well beyond personal choice and into the realm of social responsibility. www.whatsorganicmovie.org

I love your food film list! So many 'classics' listed and new food and related videos previewed. Thank you. In "Power of Community" mentioned above, when Cuba's oil supply was shut off and stores and commercial farms could not operate, people had to fend for themselves. Yards and public parks were turned into gardens. Permaculturalists were flown in from Australia to teach. Cubans on average lost 20lbs each (mostly vegetarian diet and bike or walk for transportation). Farmers then were the most highly paid people. I'd also recommend HOW TO SAVE THE WORLD
http://greenplanetfilms.org/index.php?cPath=111
about biodynamic gardening. Save the world with cow dung and water? who knew?. Also upcoming:
"Dirt, the movie" http://greenplanetfilms.org/blog/?p=125
"In Good Heart" http://www.ingoodheart.com (from producers of Future of Food), and
"Nourish" http://www.goworldlink.org/programs/nourish.html
"The End of the Line" was staggering. Watch 6 episodes now on Babelgum. http://www.babelgum.com/endoftheline

Thank you for this list! My now-freshman was told his was the most intelligent class to ever graduate from the academically gifted school he attended from K-8th. Interestingly, 90% of these kids BROUGHT THEIR OWN LUNCH!

Two Angry Moms this movie is all rallying cry for parents to take a closer look at what their kids are eating in school. The film is a combination of an exposé into the school lunches served across America and also a manifesto on how to change the system.

What, no "Earthlings"? (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0358456/) more about animal cruelty than anything else, still, an important and effective documentary.

Great list.

Another feel good movie is The Power of Community – How Cuba Survived Peak Oil (http://www.communitysolution.org/poc.html).

Also check out "McLibel," about two Brits who were sued by McDonalds for speaking out against their product (under libel laws) and won, overturning the libel law they were sued under. very inspiring.

there's a very popular (in austria) austrian film we feed the world that shows the spread of intensive agriculture. it's like our daily bread lite, with interviews interspersed within factory shots.

If you're an oenophile, check out "Mondovino." Really good and eye-opening.
