A Few Notes on Our Food Problem
US (1968): Documentary
This film examines the possibility of an international food crisis. It's visually striking -- with images from one scene bleeding into images in the next in a way that emphasizes the unity between the film's subjects: farmers in Brazil, India, and Africa who were falling behind in their efforts to feed local populations. The film features producer-director James Blue as narrator, his rich, measured, voice sounding like a somewhat less-hammy Charlton Heston -- that is, like the voice of a rather concerned God.
