In Food, Inc., filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on America's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized underbelly that has been hidden from the American consumer with the consent of the government's regulatory agencies, USDA and FDA. The nation's food supply is now controlled by a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the safety of workers and the environment. We have bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that won't go bad, but we also have new strains of E. coli—the harmful bacteria that causes illness for an estimated 73,000 Americans annually. There is widespread obesity, particularly among children, and an epidemic level of diabetes among adults.

Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto) along with forward thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield's Gary Hirshberg and Polyface Farms' Joel Salatin, Food, Inc. reveals surprising—and often shocking truths—about what we eat, how it's produced, who the Americans have become as a nation and where they are going from here.

Former dolphin trainer Ric O’Barry once played an active role in capturing five dolphins who shared the role of Flipper in the cult TV series of the same name. However, he quickly abandoned his profession after witnessing one of the dolphins commit suicide in captivity by voluntarily blocking its blowhole. In fact, he attempted to free a captured dolphin off the island of Bimini shortly after, an endeavour that resulted in his arrest.

 

The Cove documents O’Barry as he investigates, with the help of director Louis Psihoyos and his film crew, the secretive practice of dolphin drive hunting taking place in an isolated cove near the village of Taiji, Wakayama in Japan. Due to its protection by wire fences, aggressive volunteers, and local police officers who never hesitate to question foreigners, special covert filming tactics were required to capture the horror taking place within the cove.

 

According to this groundbreaking documentary, dolphin hunting is a very lucrative activity, since these creatures can be sold to water parks or can be utilized for their meat. Nonetheless, the average citizen remains unaware of the horrifying activities behind this business. Moreover, dolphin meat contains overwhelmingly high mercury levels, a fact that has caused several Japanese politicians to push for its removal from cafeteria menus.
