FAST FOOD NATION
USA, 2006, 116 MIN
DIRECTED BY RICHARD LINKLATER

On Tuesday, March 27 at 4:00 pm at Regal Winter Park Village Stadium 20, the Florida Film Festival will screen FAST FOOD NATION based on the book by Eric Schlosser who also co-wrote the screenplay. Schlosser spoke at Enzian Theater on Saturday, March 24 as part of the Florida Film, Food & Wine Celebration.

Inspired by the incendiary bestseller that exposed the hidden facts behind America's fast food industry comes a powerful drama that takes an eye-opening journey into the dark heart of the All-American meal. Richard Linklater's FAST FOOD NATION 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.
