...documentary [version]? So it became important for me to make a film about how the whole supermarket has become industrialized like the fast-food system. On one level, we're spending less on food than at any time in history, but it's coming to us at a very high, unseen cost. And I think we're just beginning to understand that.

By the time I got to the store, most of the high-end Criterion Collection DVDs had been snatched, and the quality offerings of the drama, action and comedy sections had been picked over pretty thoroughly. Yet one wall (or, more accurately, one corner), had been left more or less untouched: the documentary section...
