With explicit irony, we watch scene after scene of vast fields of crops sprayed with pesticides of cavernous greenhouses hosed down with chemicals of stadium-sized barns stuffed to standing-room-only with hens of baby chicks speeding down conveyor belts and shot off into bins of salmon crammed into underwater pens, then harvested into tubes and finally sliced by mechanical saws. After the 90 disturbing, but breathtaking minutes of this movie, you will never look at the food you eat the same way again. From farm fields to greenhouses to cattle cars to slaughterhouses, we watch–sometimes in disbelief, but most often in horror–at the utterly dehumanized, mechanized, highly technological systems man has created to get the very stuff that sustains our world from the plant and the animal it comes from into our mouths and stomachs.
#Our daily bread movie movie
The entire movie consists of magnificently composed, dynamically rendered scenes of food production. It will most certainly kill your appetite.Ī German-Austrian production directed and shot by Nikolaus Geyrhalter, Our Daily Bread contains no narration, talking heads, characters, music, special effects, or on-screen graphics, including location identifiers. The film will most likely influence your upcoming trip to the grocery store. I would time your viewing of Our Daily Bread thoughtfully.
