Thousands of us work with or simply enjoy diverse food. But while some parts of society push for more sustainable, local eating habits, the momentum in the world as a whole is very much in the opposite direction. This creative and engaging documentary film reveals the indian tribes made homeless as huge tracts of rainforest are burned to grow soya beans. Meanwhile, local fishermen in Asia and subsistence farmers in Kenya struggle to come to terms with the industrial use of the same water their livelihoods depend on. The food on our plate says more than we know about who we are. Part of the Take One Action Film Festival 2011, visit www.takeoneaction.org.uk for more great movies. Event in association with the World Development Movement and Oxfam. Production • Walter Grotenhuis / Netherlands / 2010 / 89 mins / not classified
