P.O.V.

The 82nd annual Academy Awards has selected two PBS documentaries as nominees in the documentary features category. The nominees are “The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers” and “Food, Inc.” Both documentaries will be featured as part of the P.O.V. series.

“Food, Inc.” is scheduled for broadcast on Wednesday, April 21st at 9:00 PM Pacific. The running time is two-hours. Here’s a brief description:

How much do we know about the food we buy at our local supermarkets and serve to our families? Though our food appears the same - a tomato still looks like a tomato - it has been radically transformed. In POV's Food, Inc., producer-director Robert Kenner and investigative authors Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma) lift the veil on the U.S. food industry, revealing surprising facts about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where we may go from here.

“The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers” has not been scheduled at this time. Scheduling updates will appear in Prevue, our member supported viewer guide, and on our web site.
