Our Daily Bread

The hum of machines, the absence of dialogue, and unsettling cinematography reinforce this unforgettable, hauntingly disturbing, stomach-churning, want-to-look-away Nikolaus Geyrhalter documentary about the efficient, systematic, high-tech mass production of crops such as hydroponic tomatoes, cucumbers, and sunflowers; the packaging of apples and eggs; the farming, gutting, and vacuuming of salmon; and the automated feeding and unfiltered, gut-wrenching slaughter of pigs, chickens, and cows.
