What Barbecue Is About
Cooking meat over fire is the same operation everywhere, but what gets built around it is different everywhere. The documentary was shot over two years in thirteen languages and travelled to twelve countries: a restaurant inside a Syrian refugee camp, nomads in Mongolia, hangi in New Zealand, braai in South Africa, yakitori in Japan. There is no narrator; the people who stoke the fire and turn the meat speak for themselves. Matthew Salleh directed, with Urtext Films behind it and Rose Tucker as his partner and producer. It screened at SXSW in 2017, was picked up by Netflix and went out in a hundred and ninety countries. It is a film less about food than about what a community does around a fire.
