Where is it playing? I watched the trailer and some clips, it looks fascinating.

Yes, King Corn is great.
The latest twist is that HFCS has been rebranded so the label will only need to list "fructose".
To be fair, Yoga Face, that could be said about any documentary.
I like documentaries. A lot. But when you pay attention, when you watch them critically, you understand that they all have a point of view. There's nothing wrong with that. They are not journalistic articles. They are a film that documents a particular point of view. A documentary against GMOs will cite reasons why GMOs are bad, but it won't cite studies that show GMO foods don't have any ill effects. A documentary about the color green won't discuss what's good about the color blue. There's nothing wrong with that, but the trick is to not get fooled into watching a documentary and then taking it as the gospel truth. A documentary is a point of view, and because the person or people making the documentary have your focused attention for an hour and a half, they can be pretty convincing. Let the Church of Scientology talk to you, with you unable to interject or argue with them, for an hour and a half and... well... you might start seeing things their way. At least a little.
There's nothing wrong with that. Watch them all with an open mind, even those you disagree with. Watch all of them with a critical eye, especially those you agree with.

Sign me up, I love documentaries. As others have posted anything by Professor Tyson tends to be amazing, he makes understanding science achievable.
I have been looking to watch a documentary I once saw on CBC's 5th State or whatever their documentary program is called, it was about a migrant from south america and his journey to the usa riding on the rooftop of commercial trains. I can't recall the name of it and when I have tried to find it I just can't. If anybody can post me a link to where to find it I would be very appreciative.

I love documentaries. I was heartbroken after watching Black Fish
:Cry: You should definitely watch Maidentrip, you will like it
Excellent.
Also, perseverance. Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times before he discovered the light bulb.
Even in Canada? Sucrose (table sugar) is better than HFCS but still not great. The latest issue of Prevention Mag has an article by Dr. Andrew Weil on this. He says raw Stevia is best if you need a sweetener.
I'll have to watch this another time.
Incidentally, the ABC news journalist who interviews him here, Dan Harris also wrote a book about 'the voices in my head'. A self-help to lowering stress thru meditation.
The Queen of Versailles, Michael moore documentaries, Documentaries with Morgan Freeman's voice! because he is the narrator obviously!
The Passionate Eye on CBC has some good documentaries too.
