When Martha Stewart tweets, we best listen up. She recently mentioned a screening she arranged for employees of a documentary that we just had to see.
The film is called Food, Inc. and reveals what we eat, how it’s produced and how it’s consumed. It’s hitting the silver screen nationwide on June 12, and as of last night, Magnolia Pictures scored placement at South Beach’s Regal Cinemas on Lincoln Road — check it out on June 19.
