Food Inc. (the Movie)

Compared to a conspiracy thriller or Batman movies with their bad guys intent on evil domination, the stories of corporate control shown in Film Inc actually still seem rather far fetched. Made into a fiction film, you'd perhaps think that a storyline that involved the greed of a relative few rich men controlling a whole nations supply and choice of a substance as necessary and supposedly wholesome as food, was a bit too far fetched. The fact that this then resulted in the unnecessary deaths of small children would seem unnecessarily sentimentalized. And also far fetched. The heart wrenching aside to the severe food shortages caused by these greedy men in the rest of the world, and the insert clip of third world countries rioting, would be like the nod to the devastation (the aliens/disaster/war) caused to the rest of the world that is obligatorily added to disaster movies for the sake of viewers not from America.

Unfortunately sometimes the real world is more horrible than we want to see in the movies. (that's a whole topic in itself but not for now)

Anyway, it may 'just' be a documentary but go see Food Inc.

For some reason (a mistake on their part I think), I can't embed the trailer.

If you want to see it, it's here:

On the other hand, I got a lot more from the film than I'd expected to from the trailer. (I was expecting a run of the mill documentary)

So here's the beginning of the film, which may intrigue more. (Because it is a very very good documentary)
