A wake up call for anyone who eats food: this nervy documentary promotes a healthy paranoia about the USDA and FDA's "war" on the small farmers of the local foods movement. The farmers and consumers interviewed in the film make the persuasive argument that federal and state agencies focus their monitoring on small scale producers when food-related illnesses are historically traceable to genetically modified foods, factory farming, and large-scale livestock facilities. Surveillance footage of raids on Mennonite farms and food co-ops, interviews with FDA officials, and agricultural experts round out this articulate argument for promoting access to local, healthful foods. Cosponsored with GreenStar Cooperative Market
