Excellent for studies of population, land use, food economics, international banking, social organization, history and comparative government." -American Association for the Advancement of Science "Extremely well done and haunting.

Excellent." - World Hunger Program, American Friends Service Committee "No other documentary conveys the role of agri-business and the importance of "food first" to the hungry." - Institute for Food & Development Policy "Sets forth the provocative proposition that the wealthier nations of the Western World are making the hungry nations even hungrier."

Progressive "An intelligent and merciless investigation into famine, with global agribusiness as the main culprit."
