I hadn't seen the movie before, and to be honest, I liked it more than I thought I would. It told the story of how our agricultural system became industrialized, and more interestingly, how the local and organic food movement grew. I had no idea Wolfgang Puck and other famous chefs were involved. It had some interesting commentary about food choices as a form of political protest and overall it was fast-paced and interesting enough to keep people's attention.
Before the movie, Lindsay talked about how lucky we were to get this showing. It recently started making the film festival circuit and it won't appear in Chicago for the first time until next month. So I'm excited that we got a good crowd but it makes me disappointed that the local press didn't pay more attention beyond calendar listings.
The final two movies in the Earth Week Film Fest are Sunday.
