Overall value for money and time: 7.5/10

"You'll never look at dinner the same way again." I was under the wrong impression that this movie was about how we got our food, the behind-the-scenes footages of the cover-up whereby what we eat, is not what we actually think it is. Or perhaps an overload of graphic animal torture scenes that would have you convert to a vegetarian for the rest of your life. Not quite.

Though what we see in this film might be disturbing, it's not centered around the "Asian" context. I'm not saying that it doesn't affect us, but it doesn't spark that much of a "change" impact as opposed to it just being an "awareness" film. The direct lifts the veil on how the food industry has changed over the years, the growing power of food industries and the extend of the control they have over the american citizens and the US government.

Enter the lives of the victims of the dark operations run by the food industries as they try to "silence" and force their victims into poverty and desperation. It's more of a conspiracy film in the food industry and not so much of a food film. Still, it does have good cinematography which makes it more than your average documentary but its packaging, like the food it criticizes, may not be exactly what you expect it to be.
