Food, Inc.
June 8, 2009
David Brancaccio talked to Robert Kenner about his new documentary on last Friday's episode of NOW.
My initial thought is that the material in this film looks basically the same as Michael Pollan's book The Omnivore's Dilemma. Nevertheless, this is an important topic that impacts more Americans than just about any else. I've already heard rumors that Food, Inc. is going to win awards for documentary of the year. I'll wait until I see it to make my own judgment, but based on the clips I have seen and this interview, it definitely has potential.
