12 Shocking Documentaries That Will Change How You See The World
11. Rotten (2018)
Rotten turns the production of food into a true crime drama with each episode focussing on a different subset of the industry. The documentary series takes a look into everything from garlic production to the farming of meat to give a glimpse into just what goes on to bring food to our plates.
The documentary takes us all over the world and has a strong focus on humans and how we encourage these problems. Rotten makes no bones about how human greed is becoming unsustainable and is growing everyday, however counterbalances these shocking pieces of information with genuine appreciation for good food preparation and the magic that the industry can bring.
Above all, Netflix’s Rotten is here to show you the often grizzly truth behind the food put on our plates and the way that we influence how it gets there. The show has its faults but once you watch it you’ll realise why it’s essential that we all get informed about what’s in our meals.
