Fed Up
Directed by Stephanie Soechtig1h 35m2014
Fed Up blows the lid off everything we thought we knew about food and weight loss, revealing a 30-year campaign by the food industry, aided by the U.S. government, to mislead and confuse the American public, resulting in one of the largest health epidemics in history.
Our read: Fed Up (2014) reads as a sombre, kinetic, grounded documentary entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
Sombre, kinetic, measured documentary, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, cold.
