Genres Documentary

Avec We Feed the World, le documentariste Erwin Wagenhofer propose aux spectateurs un regard sur l'agriculture mondiale moderne. En passant par la Roumanie, l'Autriche, le Brésil, la France et l'Espagne, son enquête se focalise sur la manière dont est fabriqué ce qui arrive dans notre assiette. Il montre que la domination du Nord sur le Sud est prégnante. Comment est-il possible qu'en Afrique l'on achète des produits européens ou asiatiques comme le poulet thaïlandais ? Le réalisateur présente une face peu connue de la mondialisation : en achetant un poulet industriel, on contribue au défrichement de l'Amazonie car le Brésil déforeste pour cultiver le soja qui sert à nourrir les volailles élevées en batterie (90 % de la production de soja du Brésil est exportée). Le documentaire souligne également la différence entre industrie agroalimentaire et petite exploitation. We Feed the World adopte un style « coup de poing » visant à éveiller les consciences.

Zelal is an invitation to delve into the world of psychiatry and "madness" in Egypt. It meets the ordinary madmen and women banished to mental institutions by Egyptian society and offers more than just a journey into their world of shadows.
