Summary/Abstract: The issue of food in film has been analyzed in at least a dozen interesting publications. However, a majority of them pertains to feature movies. Although there is a large group of documentaries in which food plots are dominant and there is a popular term food documentary, often using in descriptions and reviews, this type of documentary is still waiting for detail, academic analysis. In the first part of my thesis I shortly describe characteristics of food documentary. Then I concentrate on the analysis of two of them: Super Size Me (2004) by Morgan Spurlock and Food, Inc. (2008) by Robert Kenner. They have some strong similarities, as they both represent socalled food activist documentary. But on the other hand, there are also few important differences.
