Trivia

One of the inspirations for the film happened 10 years earlier when Australian Aboriginal actor David Gulpilil invited Damon Gameau, his co-star from The Tracker (2002), to visit him in his native land, the Arnhem area of Australia's Northern Territory. Gameau was immediately struck by how much Western culture and food had been assimilated into the Aboriginal lands. Seeing mothers feed their babies Coca-Cola through their baby bottles disturbed him greatly. See more »

Awesome movie. I find it very much needed for our generation. This kind of movie should have been made a decade back.
6 September 2015 | by See all my reviews

Awesome movie. I find it very much needed for our generation. This kind of movie should have been made a decade back. :( Should be seen by everybody. Share as much as you can. Expected it to be boring but the self realization took over.

I wonder if all the big corporations and their managers would still continue their job. If they were paid less, in the name of 'healthy food'. They know their product is not healthy. But still advertise it. After all who hates $$$$ :D

I would personally suggest you to watch this. And empathize it. So "sweet" of you to share it also. ;)
