Superchef Ben Reade (who’d make a good stand-up comic) travels around the world sourcing and then stuffing his face with hundreds, if not thousands, of types of insects and only gets food poisoning once—from a hamburger in Sydney.

He devours termites, grubs, and grasshoppers on behalf of a research project for the Nordic Food Lab in Copenhagen, which takes Reade and his partner to remote areas around the world, with the enthusiastic cook often preparing (genuinely mouthwatering) meals right in the field. Global food sustainability is the quest, but Reade quits the mission when he realizes that corporate capitalism will eventually fuck everything up. His absence almost kills this fantastic, intellectually nutritious doc, at least until director Andreas Johnsen abruptly and pointedly ends matters on a note that signals just how much he can stomach.
