Food, Inc (2008)

Food, Inc. (2008) Poster Did you know that it only takes 48 days for a chicken to go to market? Is this natural? Food, Inc. filmed in 2008 and our first documentary for the Doc|Club explores how food is grown, and the concerns that people have about the current method of raw food production. Featuring interviews with such experts as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto) along with forward thinking social entrepreneurs like Stonyfield's Gary Hirshberg and Polyface Farms' Joel Salatin, Food, Inc. reveals surprising—and often shocking truths—about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here. You can watch the rest of the documentary here.
After watching, be sure to write your blog post with your reaction to what we have seen using the guidelines set out in the How To guide above.

Welcome

Welcome to The Doc|Club! This site will serve as the main hub for the Doc|Club project, a joint initiative created by the International School of Leipzig (Germany) and the International School of Brno (Czech Republic). Throughout this project students will not only learn about documentaries covering a number of various topics, but will also learn about cooperating and collaborating with students across the two schools.
