How safe is the food we are eating? The Future of Food deals with the pitfalls of genetically modified food we buy every day in our supermarkets. Although the movie is pretty one-sided, it manages to reveal the practices of major agricultural corporations like Monsanto when dealing with the safety of their products. The now infamous lawsuits brought against farmers and lack of regulation when it comes to labeling GM food are also mentioned in the film. It won awards at the Women Film Critics Circle and Ashland Independent Film Festival. It’s high IMDb score secured it the 5th place on our list of 11 best food documentaries on Netflix streaming in 2015.
