Synopsis
What does world hunger have to do with us? In a word: EVERYTHING.
We Feed the World is an award-winning, visually stunning, globe-trotting exposé of our modern agricultural system. From struggling fishermen and long-distance truckers, to agronomists and multi-national corporate executives, We Feed the World presents a sobering portrait of the people who define the contemporary food industry, where the constant pursuit of profit takes precedence over the health of the workers, the hungry, and the environment.
