Triplex (70 Railroad St., Breat Barrington, MA 01230, Breat Barrington MA)
BIFF presents their 7th Annual Environmental Film Focus Series with FOOD INC 2, directed by Robert Kenner and Melissa Robledo. The groundbreaking Oscar®-nominated documentary FOOD INC., which was screened at BIFF in 2008, ignited a cultural conversation about the multinational corporations that control our food system at enormous cost to our planet, workforce and health.
In the sequel, FOOD INC. 2, comes “back for seconds” to reveal how corporate consolidation has gone unchecked by our government, leaving us with a highly efficient yet shockingly vulnerable food system dedicated only towards increasing profits. The film stars Michael Pollan, Senator Cory Booker, Senator John Tester and Eric Schlosser.
A panel discussion with Maryann Tebben and Dan Carr of Berkshire Agricultural Ventures and BIFF programmer, Lillian Lennox, will follow the screening.
“FOOD INC. forever changed the way people think about what they eat. Fifteen years later FOOD INC. 2 is just as urgent and essential.” – Alice Waters
