Farmaggedon: The Unseen War On American Family Farms
It seems like the government should have better things to do than create trouble for small, family farms but this movie details several incidences of just that (taking away sheep for unfounded fear of Mad Cow Disease, disposing of gallons of healthy milk from a Mennonite farmer...). The film feels a bit preachy at times but brings up valid questions about the role of the government in the American food system.
