June 24, 2011The Future of Food is a documentary which focuses on growing concerns over how our crops are produced, and how science is altering the foods we eat.

Jonathan Curiel, San Francisco Chronicle

A powerful, if one-sided, attack on the GM food industry.
September 16, 2005
Robert Koehler, Variety
Plain wrap filmmaking that's single minded, capped with a pitch for organic eating that's much too weak. Full Review

Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times
The densely informational film fails to open up the discussion on synthetic food but makes a strong case for its stance through interviews with scientists and 'clean' food advocates. Full Review
