Critic Reviews
“Monsanto will attack Garcia’s documentary as a piece of unbalanced journalism, but The Future of Food doesn’t need to put corporate spokespeople on camera to attain credibility. Garcia uses their own public relations video to show how much spin they are doing to convince the general public that their motives are good. One of 2005’s must-see documentaries, this one will motivate many of its audience members to reconsider their eating (and purchasing) habits. Garcia, the widow of Grateful Dead star Jerry Garcia, has taken a complex subject and made it digestible for anyone who cares about what they put into their stomachs.” – Jonathan Curiel. SF Gate.
