ORIGINS OF A MEAL

From a meal composed of eggs, canned tuna and bananas, Luc Moullet goes up the chain that led these foods to his plate: supermarket managers, wholesalers, importers, manufacturers, workers, etc. are interviewed to help us understand how it all works.

Long before ethical consumerism becomes the buzzword of the day, Luc Moullet’s visionary documentary lends a dissenting flavor to seemingly common food items. Overshadowed by the myth of French cuisine is a system of labor exploitation that feeds off the blood, sweat, and tears of the Global South.
