Fifteen years after the groundbreaking release of 'Food Inc.,' a documentary that exposed the flaws in our food system, the sequel, 'Food Inc. 2,' emerges to tackle the complexities of modern food production and consumption. Eric Schlosser, renowned for his work in unveiling the underbelly of the fast-food industry, spearheads this endeavor.
Reflecting on the enduring relevance of his previous exposés, Schlosser spoke with AwardsWatch's Landon Johnson and exposes the persistent socioeconomic disparities in access to nutritious food, exacerbated by corporate consolidation within the food industry.

Schlosser's sequel seeks to unveil the pervasive influence of corporate power and inspire a new wave of societal change in how we approach food production and consumption.
