NOTE FROM TED: TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t... • Powerful entities, often cloaked in secrecy and protected by mercenary armies, are maneuvering to grab scarce food and water resources around the globe. NPR journalist Jenn White sits down with documentary filmmaker Gabriela Cowperthwaite to discuss her latest project, “The Grab, and why food is the shared story of our century. Gabriela Cowperthwaite has been directing both documentaries and narrative films for over 20 years, rising to prominence with the 2013 release of Blackfish, which examined the plight of orcas and their trainers at SeaWorld. Blackfish quickly became one of the highest-grossing documentaries of all time. In addition to being shortlisted for an Academy Award, Blackfish was nominated for a BAFTA, a Broadcast Critics' Awards, and an International Documentary Association Award, and won the Satellite Award for Best Feature. • Gabriela helmed Children of the Underground, an FX/Hulu series. The series was nominated in 2023 for an Independent Spirit Award for best documentary series. • Gabriela's latest documentary The Grab, a geopolitical thriller, follows a shadowy world of powerful entities who are grabbing up the world's food and water while we all look the other way. The Grab opened TIFF in 2022 and was hailed as the holy sh*t documentary of the year. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
