Full Plot Details

John Sims is a man with big ideas but little follow through. Unemployed, unable to find a job, and having no money with the economy being as depressed as it is, he and his loving wife Mary Sims are a few days away from being evicted and thus homeless. Not wanting a handout per se, Mary is hoping that her visiting Uncle Anthony will at least be able to offer John a job. What he offers them instead is an unused farm property - one hundred sixty acres - for which he has no use, and which the bank holding the mortgage doesn't want in the value being virtually worthless, it at least giving them a place to live and work until they decide their next step. It isn't until they arrive that they truly discover how little they know about farming, especially as a transient Swede named Chris, passing by much like them looking for work, and his wife Hilda show them more about farming and rural life in one day than they could have imagined. It is then that John comes up with his next big idea: to amass others looking for work to form a cooperative on the farm. Each person, providing what they have available, would barter among themselves their services and belongings with the others who need such, they all living on the property in small houses they build themselves, they all sharing equally what they have, and they selling whatever surplus they may have, especially in what they raise, for other things they may need to purchase. In finding such like minded people solely by posting a sign along the road, John is able to form that cooperative, the people, in turn, voting, that their governance structure will be John, the one who brought them all together, as "boss", with others assigned needed administrative roles. The question then becomes whether John can follow through especially when the situation throws them curve balls, such potential ones being people in their midst who are solely out for themselves, or the fickle nature of farming which is highly reliant upon Mother Nature's cooperation.

Movie Reviews

Final Call - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsAn inside peek at the lethal logistics of the high-tech food industry, guaranteed to haunt you for meals to come.
Movie Habit - 9/10 by Marty MapesThere is so much more going on than simply a morbid curiosity about meat
Seattle Times - 9/10 by Tom KeoghCompelling, distressing documentary about the weirdly mechanized world of industrial farms, slaughterhouses and other sources of mass-produced food has a surrealist edge that gives the film a dreamlike ambience.
Oregonian - 9/10 by Marc MohanDifficult to sit through, Our Daily Bread is nonetheless an important record, invaluable for those with the courage to watch it.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumWhat the activist drama "Fast Food Nation" does with talk and the aid of movie stars, Our Daily Bread, a riveting documentary by Austrian filmmaker Nikolaus Geyrhalter, does even better, with no voice-over and barely a word spoken by the unidentified workers involved in matter-of-fact killing and harvesting.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You - 8/10 by Leo GoldsmithIts great political function is its seeming objectivity, a silence in the face of the hypertechnologized food industry that is itself thoroughly interrogatory and demanding.
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 8/10 by Rob Thomas"Our Daily Bread" is still a haunting and worthy effort that finds beauty in the ugliest of places and leaves us to dwell on the paradox, especially over our next meal.
Film4 - 8/10 by Anton Bitelthis is a film which, though not always palatable, leaves us with plenty to digest about our place in the food chain.
AV Club - 8/10 by Noel MurrayThe non-sensationalized "this is what really happens" approach makes Our Daily Bread extra-creepy at times.
Time Out - 7/10 by David JenkinsEssentially, it's a Koyanisquaasti for metal and meat fetishists, and that's no bad thing.
