The Story of Food (2020)

This is a 'No Fresh Carbon Footprint' Docuseries.

The Story of Food - a documentary in nine parts, tracing the trail of devastations bringing us to the point where we are today.

The brink of a point.

The population explosion of the cultivated human; disasters – climatic for the planet-body, pandemic for the human; fast depleting resources; scoured oceans and hollowed out earth; thorough poisoning – inside out; the gaping holes in the web of life; the systemic decay - within and without...

A wrecked planet, the wretched life.

Food being the thread that connects us to life; and the way we obtain our food being the thread that connects us to a way of life, the movie begins by examining – the first milestone on the trail – our agri-culture, our very relationship with the land. And thus, consequently, bringing the focus of investigation to questioning – our very Way of Life.
