Farmegeddon
Kristin Canty directs this look at small American farms and the federal agents who raid them. Her own family's struggle to find raw milk for a child with allergies pushes her to ask why the USDA and FDA treat certain farmers like criminals for selling unpasteurized dairy, homemade cheese, and other foods outside the industrial food system. The film follows farmers whose operations were shut down or seized, framing each case as part of a larger pattern: regulation used less to protect consumers than to clear the market for large-scale, processed agriculture. Interviews with the farmers themselves carry most of the story, laying out what was taken, what charges were filed, and what happened to their livelihoods afterward. Canty builds her argument as advocacy rather than balanced reporting, siding clearly with the small producers, and the film's real question is who gets to decide what counts as safe food in the first place.
