Review of Our Daily Bread (2006) by David B — 14 Sep 2009
It's like Manufactured Landscapes meets the human study aspects of Koyannisqatsi... this film is a cross-section of the mass production food industries... there's barely any dialogue, and what dialogue there is is virtually indecipherable.
There's not really even any sort of narrative to the piece, leaving it to the viewer to make up their own mind about what's going on. A Monsanto executive could be as satisfied as a PETA Vegan with what is depicted.
Some images surprise, others are expected. While many would think you'd come out of this a vegetarian, the only resolve I came to is that I'll think twice about eating non-organic sunflower seeds again! I've studied this issue, and seen much of this on youtube - but I'm glad this film has been made.
It should be in every middle-school and high school library.
