Our Daily Bread
NEW DOCS
This stark, stunning, and literal film tells the story of how food gets from their origins to our homes, as well as about the people who get it there. Long, gorgeously composed shots—many echoing the stark, sterile beauty of 2001: A Space Odyssey—from poultry plants, potato farms, slaughterhouses, and various livestock facilities offer a dialogue and music-free journey through the experience of harvesting and processing foodstuffs. Fresh, surreal, hypnotic, absorbing, Our Daily Bread is a rare experience for anyone who cares about food and our planet. Content warning: Contains some graphic material related to animal processing.
