Abused for Our Food
Is there a dark side to the food we eat? Georgie Styles hears accounts of exploitation of farm workers in the UK, and allegations that supermarkets are not doing nearly enough.
When journalist Georgie Styles is sent unpublished videos of farm workers in Britain being 鈥榯reated like animals鈥�, she begins to investigate the dark side of our food system.
She uncovers numerous referrals of labour exploitation, and hears allegations of workers living in moldy caravans, being trafficked, verbally abused and forced to urinate in bottles.
Her year-long investigation goes from farm workers to our favourite supermarkets.
With gripping first-person testimony, unheard recordings and new documents, this File on Four documentary makes you think about the food in front of you in a new way.
