World of Plenty is a 1943 British documentary film directed by Paul Rotha for the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. It discusses problems with, and possible improvements to, global food distribution.[1]
Synopsis
[edit]An opening narration explaining that the film's purpose is to examine the "world strategy of food", in terms of its production, distribution and consumption. Following the principles of dialectical montage at both the level of detail and of overall structure, the film is divided into three major parts: "Food - As It Was" (prewar), "Food - As It Is" (during the war) and "Food - As It Might Be" (looking forward to the postwar era).
