1. Fast Food Nation
are you eating too much `excreta’ (i.e. shit) in your next burger? A company investigation into the cowdung content in their company’s burger led a young executive to a startling expose of a link between foreign workers and the foreign matter in the burger. The truth is worst than shit, for sure! The film also shows a small band of animal liberationist students trying to set free a herd of cows – but the cows refused to run for freedom – what’s wrong?
