An Acquired Taste

Summary As the food movement grows across America, a young generation of mindful meat-eaters rejects factory farms and turns to hunting for the ultimate protein. Twelve-year old, Nick, Alex and Ashlie know they are improbable hunters. They grew up in suburban America, petrified of guns and have resented hunters ever since sobbing through "Bambi" as children. But food advocates, like Michael Pollan, documentaries such as "Food Inc" and social media leaders like Mark Zuckerberg - who only eats what he kills - have converted the teens into educated foodies, making the pursuit of wild game, a more humane and ecological alternative to factory-farmed meat. The teens are part of a new urban movement responsible for a historical increase of hunters in the United States: locavore hunters. Nick, Alex and Ashlie leave behind their modern lives and embark on a journey that is foreign to their parents. To make a humane kill, these animal lovers confront tormenting ethics and their worst nightmares, partly to eat dinner, and partly to carve out their own identities in a world increasingly at odds with reality and nature. In this lyrical character-driven documentary, we witness the emotional and controversial journey of the teens, and satisfy our everlasting curiosity on what connects us with the natural world, with our food and our primal heritage as human beings.
