In a world where convenience rules what lands on our plates, this eye-opening investigation pulls back the curtain on the true cost of our modern food economy. What once promised abundance and innovation has morphed into a system where a few powerful corporations hold the reins, shaping government policy, squeezing farmers, and prioritizing profit over people. The result is a food supply that is astonishingly efficient yet painfully vulnerable — and deeply tied to a global health crisis fueled by ultra-processed products. With incisive reporting and compelling voices from leading food system critics, this urgent follow-up dives deeper into how profit-driven consolidation has rewired what we eat and how it’s made. Through revealing stories from workers, families, and the experts who dared to investigate, it challenges everything we think we know about food, health, and corporate control — and urges viewers to rethink the cost of what ends up on our tables.
France, 17th Century. For more than three decades, a mysterious prisoner was moved from fortress to fortress under extraordinary secrecy, his identity concealed behind a mask and known only to a handful of powerful men. Ordered into confinement by the minister of Louis XIV in 1669, he would remain locked away until his death in 1703 — alive, but erased. Why was he hidden so carefully? What secret was so dangerous that it demanded absolute silence? Drawing on archival research, expert analysis, and the turbulent politics of the Sun King’s reign, this gripping historical investigation revisits one of France’s greatest unsolved enigmas. From theories of royal bloodlines and forbidden romances to diplomatic conspiracies and mistaken identities, the film explores the many faces behind the mask and the fragile power structures of absolutist France. A tale of intrigue, paranoia, and state secrecy that continues to fascinate more than 350 years later.

Then he plunges into the Costa Rican jungle, sleeping high among trees and confronting wild creatures. In Venice he lounges at a historic palazzo, bonds with a gondolier and reflects on his life and family. Finally, a helicopter drops him into the stark desert at Amangiri in Utah, where he absorbs breathtaking landscapes and engages with the Navajo Nation while battling his own nerves.
