NEW YORK PREMIERE
FOOD, INC.
Screening and panel discussion With Eric Schlosser, Robert Kenner, Alice Waters, Gary Hirshberg, and Marcel Van Ooyen

2008, 94 mins. Magnolia Pictures. Directed by Robert Kenner. With Michael Pollan, Eric Schlosser. The Museum is proud to present the New York premiere of this riveting documentary about the preparation and selling of food in today's world. The film includes interviews with Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma), and explores the way our 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 our own environment. Owen Gleiberman, film critic for Entertainment Weekly, wrote "I'm not generally in the habit of praising documentaries for being good for you, but Food, Inc. is more than a terrific movie—it's an important movie, one that nourishes your knowledge of how the world works (or, in this case, has started not to work)." Gary Hirshberg is the president of Stonyfield Farms. Alice Waters is the renowned chef of Chez Panisse in Berkeley. Marcel Van Ooyen oversees New York City's 45 Greenmarkets.
