Cheap Food

Industrial food production has provided the public with an abundance of food at very low prices. But with obesity and diabetes at record levels in Europe, there is clearly a problem with the food we eat. This documentary puts the spotlight on the agri-food industry and reveals how low-cost ultra-processed foods are really made.

Directed by Maud Gangler, Martin Blanchard, Cheap Food leans on a strong ensemble — Bruno Debrandt, Maud Gangler, David Garbous — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2020.
