Welcome to the world of industrial food production and high-tech farming!

I worked on food safety policy fir years, and “Our Daily Bread”[1] rocked my world. It profoundly changed how I thought about food policy, its transportation, handling, and overall safety from farm to fork.
As a kid, the nova documentary on Andrew Wiles[2] solving Fermat’s last theorem not only inspired me to study science, but I too wept with joy..
Honorable mention: “The KGB, the Computer and Me“ about my childhood hero Clifford Stoll [3]

The documentaries "Our daily bread" and "Dominion" (you can watch them for free on YouTube) can persuade most people to change their mind, at least for a month.
Our Daily Bread was really fascinating for its unflinching look at food production.
101 Rent Boys about prostitutes on the Sunset strip.
Unknown Knowns was amazing.
also two old documentaries from Frontline on credit cards: “ The secret history of the credit card“ and “the card game“
For reference you might consider watching the excellent documentaries "Our Daily Bread," and "Food, inc"
