Hi Lisa: Two films from New Day Films http://www.newday.com/ that connect what we eat to the enviroments we live in. Eating Alaska http://www.newday.com/films/eatingalaska.html (already on an earlier list) What happens to a vegetarian who moves to the Alaskan Frontier and marries a fisher-hunter? A serious and humorous film about food politics, food colonization, toxins, regional food traditions and our connection to the wilderness. The Shrimp http://www.newday.com/films/The_Shrimp.html The commercial shrimping industry along the coasts of the American South is threatened by pollution, oil spills and consumer demand for less expensive foreign imports. A meditative documentary film that follows the life, death and rebirth of one shrimp from the murky marshes of Savannah, Georgia. Thumbs up to anything by Les Blank!

Re: [Videolib] Looking for documentaries about food
Hello Lisa (and all!) We have some great food-related titles over here at Collective Eye Films-- it's actually one of our strongest subject areas! I'm happy to link you to the pages for a few of our best-selling titles: INGREDIENTS http://www.collectiveeye.org/products/ingredients its short-film companion, INGREDIENTS HAWAI'I http://www.collectiveeye.org/products/ingredients-hawaii-educational These films focus on the local food movement in the US--- INGREDIENTS gives an overview of what's going on in the US, and INGREDIENTS HAWAI'I delves into the food system on the Hawai'ian islands (the films can be purchased separately via the links provided, or as a set for a special price here http://www.collectiveeye.org/products/ingredients-ingredients-hawaii-set-educational). FOOD MATTERS http://www.collectiveeye.org/products/food_matters Harping back to the age-old saying You are what you eat, this documentary looks at how our food relates directly to our health. If we're eating nutritionally depleted foods packed with chemical additives and relying on pharmaceutical drugs to fix our problems, why is it we're surprised that our modern society is getting sicker? FOOD MATTERS focuses on helping us rethink the relationship between our food, our bodies, and our health. We also have quite a few films that focus on farming and agriculture, including our newest release, GROWING CITIES http://www.collectiveeye.org/products/growing-cities-educational, a documentary about urban farming in America. Feel free to browse our Agricultural Studies Collection http://www.collectiveeye.org/collections/agriculture for more titles that may interest you!

Re: [Videolib] Looking for documentaries about food
Hi Lisa! A few titles to add to the list... Against the Grain Against the Grain slashes through biotechnology's propaganda, revealing the science and politics behind transgenic foods to show how biotech companies increasingly engineer what you eat to be compatible with their chemicals, but not necessarily good for human health. Cafeteria Man The USDA estimates 32 million school kids consume up to 50% of their calories at school, contributing to the obesity epidemic among young people. What does it take to reform school lunch programs, especially in larger school districts, and provide healthful, tasty meals to our nation’s kids? Delicious Peace In a nation once plagued by Idi Amin’s reign of terror and intolerance, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Ugandan coffee farmers have come together to challenge historical prejudice and economic hurdles by forming the “Delicious Peace Coffee Cooperative.” Fresh Our current industrial method of food production is increasingly viewed as an unsustainable system, destructive to the environment and public health. But what is the alternative? The Future of Food There is a revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of America – a revolution that is transforming the very nature of the food we eat, yet is little-known to most of us. GROW! With the average age of farmers in the U.S. currently at 57, it’s critical to encourage more young people to take up the plow. GROW! profiles a new crop of idealistic young farmers who have turned to the fields for a more fulfilling life, driven also by a strong desire to change how our food is grown. In Organic We Trust Most Americans now purchase organic food in some form, but don’t know what “organic” really means. In Organic We Trust follows filmmaker Kip Pastor on a journey to answer the essential questions about organic: What exactly is certified organic? Is it really better for us, or just marketing hype? Is organic the key to transforming our food system? The Man Who Stopped the Desert The Man Who Stopped the Desert tells Yacouba’s story, partly though dramatic reconstruction. As a young man, he fought the accepted wisdom of the traditional land chiefs who opposed his farming techniques. But Yacouba remained undaunted. Nourish and Nourish Bundle With beautiful visuals and inspiring stories, Nourish: Food + Community (26 min) reveals the many ways food connects to our environment, our communities and our health. The film traces our relationship to food from a global perspective to personal action steps. A companion to the film, Nourish Short Films is a virtual encyclopedia of food issues, featuring 54 short, bite-sized videos with thought-provoking commentary and visuals. Subjects include: Food and Biodiversity, Food and Health, Supermarket Secrets, Why Eat Local, Fair Trade, Hunger and Obesity, Edible Education, and dozens of other topics. One More Dead Fish One More Dead Fish powerfully documents how destructive industrial fishing practices decimated the Grand Banks, once one of the most productive sources of seafood in the world. The film also tells the dramatic story of how local, more environmentally-friendly hook-and-line fishermen are battling factory fishing practices in order to survive in a globalized fishing industry.
