When filmmakers Jeff and Jennifer Spitz watched their teenage son fight an antibiotic-resistant infection, they started asking harder questions about what was on their plates. Food Patriots follows the family's shift away from industrial, processed food toward local, sustainable eating, and into the schools, farms and communities trying to change the American food system from the ground up.

Why This Film Matters: It turns a personal health scare into an accessible, hopeful look at food politics, antibiotic overuse and everyday choices. Rather than lecture, it shows ordinary people becoming food patriots, proof that changing how a country eats starts at the kitchen table.
