Reviews of the Docusersies, Rotten: Season 1
“Like the best documentary efforts, it puts forth these stories with the idea that a more informed audience is a healthier one.” IndieWire, Steve Greene
“Rotten has its structural flaws as entertainment, but it’s hard to imagine any viewer not being compelled to check grocery labels more carefully in the future.” -The Atlantic, Sophie Gilbert
Review by Rachel Avalon “Netflix’s docuseries, Rotten (Season 1) shows the devastating consequences of a global food system tainted by toxic capitalism and greedy power players. In my view, as both a health coach and sustainability expert, it reinforces the extreme importance of supporting food policies, restaurants, and a natural diet that prioritizes organic, plant-based, and locally grown food. Rotten is a clear reminder that Americans can reshape the industrialized food system and our collective wellbeing by what we choose to eat and the legislation we advocate and vote for.”
