Kildare venue to screen ground-breaking documentary
Screening of Oscar-nominated Food Inc. sequel
A special screening of Food, Inc. 2 takes place at the Riverbank Arts Centre, Newbridge on Thursday, October 3.
The ground-breaking Oscar-nominated documentary Food, Inc. ignited a cultural conversation about the multinational corporations that control our food system at enormous cost to our planet, workforce and health.
The well-timed sequel, Food, Inc. 2, comes “back for seconds” to reveal how corporate consolidation has gone unchecked by our government, leaving us with a highly efficient yet shockingly vulnerable food system dedicated only towards increasing profits.
Seeking solutions, the film introduces innovative farmers, food producers, workers’ rights activists and legislators fighting to create a more sustainable future.
Since the first film, multinational corporations have tightened their stronghold on the US government. The system at large has robbed workers of a fair living wage, and profit focused corporations are proliferating a chemically formulated international health crisis by focusing on growing the market for ultra-processed foods.
The film centres around innovative farmers, future-thinking food producers, workers’ rights activists and prominent legislators such as U.S Senators Cory Booker and Jon Tester, who are facing these companies head-on to inspire change and build a healthier, more sustainable future.
Directed by Robert Kenner and Melissa Robledo, the film lasts 94 minutes. This film is presented in association with Access Cinema and will be screened at 8pm on October 3.
Tickets cost €5 to €9.
