Hard to watch a lot of these docs for obvious reasons, it’s what we all already know and are afraid we don’t have the power to change.

A really great Documentary about how Democrats as well as Republicans are just cowards and will let us die just for a Penny

Very eye-opening. I would highly recommend it to anyone who would like to learn more about the dark side of the food industry

I think we all forgot about this one,We could use another scary food doc

One of the better food industry documentaries from the past twenty years, in the same realm as Supersize Me.

Great documentary movie, insightful and fascinating. Worth watching

It’s an amazing documentary and it’s about a problem that faces America that more people need to talk about

A must watch, simply because we need to know what we eat

Watched this in health class in high school probably 10 times. Great film about the food industry and what happens behind closed doors.

Well-made doc that presents a ton of info in an interesting way. Def eye-opening for me & makes you think more about what you’re consuming.

Bowling for Columbine

This is not a film about gun control. It is a film about the fearful heart and soul of the United States, and the 280 million Americans lucky enough to have the right to a constitutionally protected Uzi. From a look at the Columbine High School security camera tapes to the home of Oscar-winning NRA President Charlton Heston, from a young man who makes homemade napalm with The Anarchist's Cookbook to the murder of a six-year-old girl by another six-year-old. Bowling for Columbine is a journey through the US, through our past, hoping to discover why our pursuit of happiness is so riddled with violence.
