Documentary summary

Documentary summary

Write a summary of the documentary Food, Inc.  Your summary should focus on, but not necessarily be limited to, summarizing the main points of the film, discussing the pros and cons of local food versus food produced by the big agricultural complex, and the pros and cons of putting convenience over environmental impact when it comes to food. Finally, the summary should discuss how this film relates to the reading which we will discuss in class on Wednesday, April 1 as well as how the film fits into the broader context and materials discussed in this course.

You can watch the film here: http://www.filmsforaction.org/watch/food_inc/

Your summary should be a minimum of 5 pages (double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 pt font) and should make specific reference to examples used in the film or points made in the article for Wednesday.
