About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like issue-driven documentaries that challenge everyday habits and raise big questions about health, ethics, and corporate power, similar to Sicko or An Inconvenient Truth; Not for you if graphic, upsetting material is a dealbreaker.
Pros: eye-opening information; compelling interviews; sparks food choices | Cons: graphic footage; can feel unfocused; occasionally heavy-handed
