Journal Article
New Food Documentary: Animals, Identification, and the Citizen Consumer
2014
Overview
The cluster of films I am concerned with depicts animals in agriculture, fishing, and/or industry and includes productions such as Maharajah Burger ( 1997), A Cow at My Table ( 1998), Beef Inc. ( 1999), Bacon, The Film (2002), Animals (2003), Darwin s Nightmare (2004), We Feed the World (2005), Our Daily Bread (2005), End of the Line (2007), King Corn (2007), Milk In The Land: Ballad of An American Drink (2007), Meat the Truth (2008), Food, Inc. (2008), Pig Business (2009), Fresh (2009), Farmageddon: The Truth About the Food and Dairy Industry (2012), The Moo Man (2012), The Last Ocean (2012), Leviathan (2013), Raw Herring (2013), American Meat (2013) and The Animal Condition (2014).2 Many of these films identify problems with large-scale fishing or agricultural practices and \"agribusiness,\" critiquing the interests of commerce, the activities of the state, and/or the effects on the consumer (and often, albeit to a lesser extent, on the environment).3 Some are explicit in their persuasive mission while others are more expressive, opening multiple pathways for viewer interpretation. [...]to understand citizen consumers through intercorporeal or embodied modes of identification also suggests the social import of understanding spectatorial processes.
