Killer at Large

The documentary takes up the question of weight in America. The rates have climbed quickly in recent years. The film looks into the reasons for it. The food industry is at the centre of the matter. Ready made food and cheap calories are discussed too. It shows how limited the measures taken have been. What could be done is set out as well. Experts and politicians speak. Among those speaking are Jim Hightower and Tom Harkin. Part of the film follows individual people. One of them is a girl of twelve. The girl has liposuction in order to lose weight. That method is a matter of dispute. The director Neil LaBute is among them as well. Steven Greenstreet directed the hundred and two minute documentary. The American production was finished in 2008.
