Global Junk Food

51 MIN · EN · STATUS: [ STREAMING ]

Indian cities anchor this look at how fast food and Western retail culture reshaped eating habits over the last twenty years. American-style shopping malls have spread through urban India, bringing global fast-food chains and Western brands alongside local vendors and traditional food stalls. The film tracks that collision, following how imported chains adapt their menus for Indian tastes, how local diets shift as processed and packaged food becomes cheaper and more available, and what that shift means for public health in a country where diabetes and obesity rates are climbing fast. Interviews and street-level footage move between mall food courts and older markets, letting the contrast between the two speak for itself. The film treats globalization here as a lived, everyday change rather than an abstract economic trend, tracing it through what ends up on people's plates.
