Not a movie but an austrian documentary made somehow in 2005.

Welcome to the world of industrial food production and high-tech farming! To the rhythm of conveyor belts and immense machines, the film looks without commenting into the places where food is produced in Europe : monumental spaces, surreal landscapes and bizarre sounds - a cool, industrial environment which leaves little space for individualism. People, animals, crops and machines play a supporting role in the logistics of this system which provides our society’s standard of living.

OUR DAILY BREAD is a wide-screen tableau of a feast which isn’t always easy to digest - and in which we all take part. A pure, meticulous and high-end film experience that enables the audience to form their own ideas.

Sorry, kind of lazy to write the synopsis with my words ^_^

As the synopsis said, you are gonna “enjoy” and see how our daily food are made.
Cows, pigs, apple, eggs, … … our daily bread !

We all know where our daily food come from ; but do you exactly know what technics are used to collect tomatoes, eggs, milk and how animals are killed before to end up in your plate / stomach ?

It is an 1 hour 30 doc.
The power of this documentary is the fact that the director only used steady shots without any comments ; only environment sounds ! (Some might think it is gonna be boring to watch ; you are not totally wrong )

So after watching Our Daily Bread, if you are a carnivore, next time you are gonna eat/enjoy your T-bone, you are gonna think twice.
If you are a vegetarian, you will keep being a vegetarian forever ^_^

About myself ? Give a look to the previous billet ; one of my favorite dish is : Raw meat ! Yummy !

Just a last word.

It is amazing to see how the hardest tasks have been automated !

A short selection of screens :

Enjoy !

How cuuutee ^_^ ; by the way it is not recommended to watch the doc with a kid around hehe
