Fresh (Entry #7)

     After watching the entire documentary “Fresh”, I can say that I was left with a lot of remorse and a

 little anxiety when I realized about food industry and how our food is managed.

 It’s the kind of anxiety that lingers after you look behind a cover and find something shocking,

 unexpected. I just can not forget a certain moments from the documentary, as an example the way they

 are handling the animals in special the chickens.                                   Fresh (Video-Trailer)



    My opinion of the film is largely positive. It is a great organized

 and thought-provoking documentary that avoids simplistic answers and instead encourages critical thinking. 

 That kind of documentaries like "Fresh" , makes the viewer always

 put questions to themselves like the  same way I did, 

“what do I really have on my plate?”. That just opened my eyes to see how disconnected we've grown from our food,highlightis how fragile that distance can truly be. After watching the film, 

I started to be much more precise about what I buy and to look

 much more carefully at the label

 of the food on the shelf but also the quality labels of it.                                        

    “Fresh” is a film that shows the crisis of the industrial food system and offers solutions by promoting

 sustainable agriculture.One think that I appreciate about the movie , was the audience that is wider that

 you could expect, because I don’t think there is anyone in this world who doesn’t eat.

 However, it probably strikes a chord most powerfully with people who are already skeptical of traditional

 agriculture or who are just willing to consider an alternative viewpoint about the food industry.

    Another thing that touched me deeply from the movie, was the story of Will Allen, a former

 professional basketball player who is now an urban farmer. highlighting the unexpected paths

 individuals can take when driven by a powerful effort and vision for change and a deep connection to

 their community is remarkable.

    The tone of the film can be described as passive-aggressive.The filmmakers do not shy away from the

 less good aspects, such as the economic and environmental consequences of industrialized agriculture,

 but they counterbalance it with inspiring stories about farmers and entrepreneurs who are creating

 sustainable paths.



    In essence, documentaries like "Fresh" act as a mirror, reflecting the often-unseen realities of our world

 back to us in a way that is both informative and emotionally resonant.The lack of awareness can lead to

 unintended consequences for our health, our environment,but also our society. 

  Food is fundamental, It nourishes us, connects us, and shapes our world. I think everyone should

 watch this Documentary at least once, so we can all have a knowledge about our food.
