Fast Food Nation
Inspired by the incendiary bestseller that exposed the hidden facts behind America’s
fast food industry Fast Food Nation takes an eye-opening journey into the dark heart of
the All-American meal. It traces the birth of an everyday, ordinary burger through a
chain of riveting, interlocked human stories – from a hopeful, young immigrant couple
who cross the border to work in a perilous meat-packing plant, to a teen clerk who
dreams of life beyond the counter; to the corporate marketing whiz who is shocked to
discover that his latest burger invention – “The Big One” – is literally full of manure.
As the film traverses from pristine barbeque smoke labs to the volatile U.S.- Mexican
border, it unveils a provocative portrait of all the yearning, ambition, corruption and
hope that lies inside what America is biting into.
