Seeing a sheep in outer space to the beat of The Chemical Brothers' Out of Control is well worth the admission. [Full review in Spanish]

Kristin Canty's Farmageddon is a plucky, grassroots, urban mulch pile of info-tainment

Canty is hardly an ignorant Jenny McCarthy-style alarmist. Rather, she's a concerned citizen asking questions about why federal and state food regulators are less interested in science than Texas Republicans.

[It's] a must-see for organic food zealots. For those who aren't, but are still curious about food and farming issues, rent "Food, Inc." instead.

San Francisco Chronicle
It's an eye-popping wake-up call revealing how the USDA and FDA have increasingly waged war on America's small farmers even when they can prove they are contributing healthful products to our food supply.
Los Angeles Times
Ms. Canty's main concern -- that agribusiness is employing government agencies to harass small, independent farmers -- comes through loud and clear.
New York Times
Product Description:
Shocked by stories of government bureaucracies taking drastic action to shut down small family-owned farms that provide their communities with healthy, non-genetically modified foods, filmmaker Kristin Canty embarks on an eye-opening cross-country trip to find out why our right to seek out natural foods is slowly being stripped away. The result is a look at the ways that onerous regulations are having a detrimental effect on our health, and our freedom to choose what we feed to ourselves, and our children.
