Film Description

Fed Up! tackles the increasingly important issue of genetically modified foods with an uncommon balance of humor and depth, answering prevalent questions about the genetic engineering of common foods, the development of modern agribusiness, the threat of genetic pollution, and many other topics with an entertaining yet informative approach. The award-winning
documentary features in-depth interviews with distinguished scientists and experts. Fed Up! also addresses environmentally sound alternatives to agribusiness and industrial food, introducing viewers to Bay Area organic farmers, community supported agriculture organizations (CSAs) and food advocates who propose more sustainable approaches.

Fed Up! is also set apart by its remarkable use of archival footage in humorous and historically revealing clips and montages. Fed Up! was one of the first feature length documentaries to make extensive use of the Internet Archive, which offers over 1300 archival films for public use
(www.archive.org). Subsequent films that have made use of the archive include The Corporation, The Future of Food and The End of Suburbia.
