Bugs
Dir: Andreas Johnsen
Denmark, 2016, 73minmins
Can eating bugs save the world? Director Andreas Johnsen’s (Ai Weiwei the Fake Case [2013]) surprisingly tasty documentary Bugs follows chef Ben Reade and researcher Josh Evans of the Nordic Food Lab (founded by the gastronomic mecca, Noma) as they travel the globe, sampling edible insects as part of a study on alternative food sources. Queen termites, ant larvae and pupae, stingless honey bees – the pair farm and forage in exotic locales to find delicacies that just might be the food of the future. A lively and thought-provoking look at creatures with the power to please the palate if not the eye.
