Filmmaker Ann Shin explores the stories behind foods such as quinoa, teff, coconuts, and wild salmon, revealing the superfood industry's effect on the lives of farm families in Bolivia, Ethiopia, the Philippines, and Haida Gwaii. The documentary examines its unintended effects on food security, health, sustainable farming, and fair-trade food practices.
