Food, Inc. 2

Share the Earth Environmental Film Series / FREE FOR EVERYONE!

In Food, Inc. 2, the sequel to the 2008 Oscar®-nominated and Emmy® Award-winning documentary Food, Inc., filmmakers Robert Kenner and Melissa Robledo reunite with investigative authors Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma) and Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) to take a fresh look at our vulnerable food system. The film centers on innovative farmers, future-thinking food producers, workers’ rights activists, and prominent legislators Senator Cory Booker and Senator Jon Tester who face these companies head-on to inspire change and build a healthier, more sustainable future.

This is an extra special Environmental Film Series screening as it is the last to be programmed by Sr. Manager for Arts Programming Linda Corbin-Pardee, who is retiring this upcoming January. During her tenure at UW-Milwaukee, Linda has been in charge of the Union Cinema for the last 20 years and has programmed 132 Environmental Film Series programs. Linda has been instrumental in shaping the Union Cinema into the place it is today, where filmmakers, students, faculty and community come together to experience the love of film. To celebrate Linda’s final Share the Earth Environmental Film Series program, cupcakes will be served while supplies last and a backdrop for picture-taking will be available during the event.
