We Feed the WorldErwin Wagenhofer
In our society food production has been so industrialized that we hardly stop to think where the piece of chicken on our plates comes from. Despite the industrialization a billion people are hungry. Erwin Wagenhofer shows how this skewed distribution is established and speaks to various people from the food industry: an ordinary farmer as well as the CEO of the largest food producer in the world. A highly intelligent and captivating film that does not explicitly point any fingers, because we are all consumers . In WE FEED THE WORLD, Austrian filmmaker Erwin Wagenhofer traces the origins of the food we eat. His journey takes him to France, Spain, Romania, Switzerland, Brazil and back to Austria. Leading us through the film is an interview with Jean Ziegler, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food. WE FEED THE WORLD is a film about food and globalisation, fishermen and farmers, long-distance lorry drivers and high-powered corporate executives, the flow of goods and cash flow–a film about scarcity amid plenty. With its unforgettable images, the film provides insight into the production of our food and answers the question what world hunger has to do with us . Interviewed are not only fishermen, farmers, agronomists, biologists and the UN's Jean Ziegler, but also the director of production at Pioneer, the world's largest seed company, as well as Peter Brabeck, Chairman and CEO of Nestlé International, the largest food company in the world.
