ESSEN GLOBAL
The most successful Austrian documentary!
We watched it last week. It was quite sickening to see how greed for profits and a sick EU structure helps to kill starving people in the third world. Because we want to feed our cows soya, the Brasilian forest is destroyed and many Brasilians go hungry.
Erwin Wagenhofer seems to have made this film almost single handed.
It appeals to the consumer - its critical about the food industry - but it's the consumer who is challenged to do something. But what?
We talked about the film and had to admit that although we see the dangers and the brutality behind the system, we aren't really prepared to spend more money than necessary for our food.
