"This is an engaging and watchable activist documentary that does make way for optimism in its last minutes, but doesn’t, um, sugarcoat its envoi about changing our eating ways: “Not only can we do it, we have to." - Roger Ebert

"You might devour less after watching “Food, Inc. 2,” and what you eat will probably be healthier.”- Ben Kenigsberg

Film Description: Food, Inc. 2 is a 2023 documentary that examines the food industry's corporate consolidation and its impact on consumers and the environment. The film is a sequel to the 2008 Oscar-nominated documentary Food, Inc. This movie, directed by Robert Kenner and Melissa Robledo, picks up where the first one left off in exposing the at-times mind-bogglingly unwholesome practices of America’s corporate food concerns in manipulating us to consume that which is bad for us. But it begins by sharing the ostensibly good news, which is that increased food consciousness is making healthy and still delicious options more available to us.

We will also be screening one of the One Earth Young Filmmakers winning films Monarchs in Motion by Mason Mirabile.

Stay after the film for an enlightening facilitated dialogue with relevant experts and advocates.
