50docs
In this scene from "50 Documentaries to See Before You Die," director Robert Kenner discusses why he made the 2008 documentary "Food, Inc." While many films dealing with food news and politics often bounce around among an audience already deeply interested in the subject, "Food, Inc." has managed to reach a more mainstream audience. Author Alonso Duralde, musician Jared Leto, and film critic Christy Lemire talk about what's made "Food, Inc." a huge contender in educating the public about today's big industry food practices.

Renowned documentarian Morgan Spurlock hosts "50 Documentaries To See Before You Die," a celebration of the most remarkable and moving documentaries released in the past 25 years. It examines how the documentary feature has evolved into an increasingly popular genre, becoming a major box office draw and impacting contemporary American culture in ways never seen before.

"50 Documentaries To See Before You Die" airs Tuesdays at 9/8c throughout August on Current TV.

    • Until the government stops turning a blind eye to companies like Monsanto that continue to scientifically / genetically engineer our food, there will be no real change.

    • I will vouch for the awesomeness of this one. Really floored me with how many things (IMPORTANT things) are deliberately kept from us. Things like details conveniently missing from labels, or all the horrible treatment of animals at these disease-infested stinkholes. Please watch this - you will walk away changed.

    • we eat murtated chickens, we are feed dying cows, all of this for money. he who invented money is the most evilist person to ever walk the face of this planet. And America always pointing fingers at other countries claiming that they are corrupt when it is by far the most corrupt country in the world.
