Future of Food In the past year, we have seen food riots on three continents, food inflation has rocketed and experts predict that by 2050, if things don't change, we will see mass starvation across the world. This film sees George Alagiah travel the world in search of solutions to the growing global food crisis. From the two women working to make their Yorkshire market town self-sufficient to the academic who claims it could be better for the environment to ship in lamb from New Zealand, George Alagiah meets the people who believe they know how we should feed the world as demand doubles by the middle of the century.
【India】
George joins a Masai chief among the skeletons of hundreds of cattle he has lost to climate change and the English farmer who tells him why food production in the UK is also hit. He spends a day eating with a family in Cuba to find out how a future oil shock could lead to dramatic adjustments to diets. He visits the breadbasket of India to meet the farmer who now struggles to irrigate his land as water tables drop, and finds out why obesity is spiralling out of control in Mexico.
Back in Britain, George investigates what is wrong with people's diets, and discovers that the UK imports an average of 3000 litres of water per capita every day. He talks to top nutritionist Susan Jebb, DEFRA minister Hilary Benn and Nobel laureate Rajendra Pachauri to uncover what the future holds for our food.
【Senegal】
George heads out to India to discover how a changing diet in the developing world is putting pressure on the world's limited food resources. He finds out how using crops to produce fuel is impacting on food supplies across the continents. George then meets a farmer in Kent, who is struggling to sell his fruit at a profit, and a British farmer in Kenya who is shipping out tonnes of vegetables for our supermarket shelves. He also examines why so many people are still dying of hunger after decades of food aid.
Back in the UK, George challenges the decision-makers with the facts he has uncovered - from Oxfam head of research Duncan Green to Sainsbury's boss Justin King. He finds out why British beef may offer a model for future meat production and how our appetite for fish is stripping the world's seas bare.
【Cuba】
In the final episode George Alagiah heads out to Havana to find out how they are growing half of their fruit and vegetables right in the heart of the city, investigates the 'land-grabs' trend - where rich countries lease or buy up the land used by poor farmers in Africa - and meets the Indian agriculturalists who have almost trebled their yields over the course of a decade.
George finds out how we in this country are using cutting-edge science to extend the seasons recycle our food waste and even grow lettuce in fish tanks to guarantee the food on our plates.
He hears the arguments about genetically modified food and examines even more futuristic schemes to get the food on to our plates.
若不是略显仓促的结尾，值得四星。小演员仿佛是牯岭街里的小明，浑然天成。
同样是关注母女情感的影片，比起矫揉造作、情感狗血的《瀑布》明显是要好很多的。至少本片所呈现的情感是真诚的、写实的、有基底的，而非虚伪的、装腔作势的、自以为是的那种做作姿态。有时候放下过分想要彰显自身才能的各种怪心思，单纯地沉浸入故事本身，反而能创作出更真诚、更经典的影片。
处在新疫情时代回看旧疫情时代，似乎什么都没有改变，曾经演叛逆少女现在演叛逆少女的母亲，林嘉欣还是那么美
2.5/瑣碎的家庭生活呈現已經讓我感到肉疼，但正因為劇目將舞台局限於家庭本身，關於疫病/東亞式教育/cultural shock/生死等問题才無法被真誠且有效的回應(/解答)。
有点意外地没有那么喜欢这部电影。当然，是比《瀑布》好，但是依旧有点浮于表面。我瞬间有种困惑，到底是电影浮于表面，还是生活本身就浮于表面？
这一家子的情绪都好不稳定，整个叙事匠气又不高级。全靠同行衬托，难怪《瀑布》都能拿大奖。
整体不如「瀑布」，并且两部电影很多撞型的主题，主线都是在讲青春期的叛逆少女和中年落魄/患癌母亲的相爱相杀。从电影的技法上，「瀑布」明显优于「美国女孩」，观影趣味也更胜一筹。「美国女孩」倒也不至于在「瀑布」面前一无是处，林嘉欣和庄凯勋的表演和气场比起贾静雯李李仁强大很多，金🐴影后最后归贾多少考虑到林嘉欣毕竟有奖座加身，对贾静雯的安慰成分明显。
错置时空到2003年，以过去的疫情映照现在的疫情，家庭内部的情感内涵总是相似。只不过就电影展现的故事而言，我们看到了隔阂与争吵，但也仅限于隔阂与争吵，而没有进一步的发展，看似和解的结尾也可能只是反复争吵的中间状态。
3.5 非典那段有几幕戏蛮有力量。对于林嘉欣，我的印象还停留在《男人四十》，岁月催人老啊……
同样是刻画母女关系，这部好过《瀑布》。母女二人演得都极好。预定2022年观影最佳之一。
好喜欢这类家庭题材，林嘉欣演技很好，剧情选择的内容很棒，即能表现各人物当时所处角度的想法，又能体现在家庭粘聚力下各种关系的感觉…
其实扛起琐碎才是最难得的，因为它不断消磨人的耐心，包括那些天真、希望。
和《瀑布》讲实话不太一样，这片子是个单纯的家庭题材。主打怀旧牌（润美国、音乐、拨号上网、体罚、非典）的同时，电影在家庭争吵的细节上做的还不错，后半段的核心悬疑（到底阳性不阳性）设置的也是及格的。主要差在电影感的东西极少，另外要论家长里短的争吵，老一辈大陆电视剧拍的也很多，相比之下这部电影完全没有特别的地方…可看可不看吧。
热锅上的家庭，揭示出从大环境到小家庭的系统兼容问题，启发疗愈，建议阖家观看，各得其所。
3.5。但是，有一点想说的是，这个年纪孩子的叛逆，很多时候，没这么“冠冕堂皇”的理由。（虽然并不能否认电影这样表达是没问题的）
一个富有感染力的故事也有赖于一帮全情投入的真挚诚恳的演员们的集体努力才让观众产生深深的代入感，也悄然引领着观众去反思去理解亦或者去重振生活。
细节丰满，泪点足，但完成度似乎差一点儿。
有点意外地没有那么喜欢这部电影。当然，是比《瀑布》好，但是依旧有点浮于表面。我瞬间有种困惑，到底是电影浮于表面，还是生活本身就浮于表面？
看到一半才认出来女主是我的前女神林嘉欣。文化冲突背景下的亲子关系、亲密关系。冲突到和解的过程。
3.6/林嘉欣可是我童年的女神，一部十分台湾的台湾电影，一切看起来都平平无奇，但是情绪很饱满也很丰富。
