CAIRO – 14 November 2017: American documentary filmmaker and comedian Morgan Spurlock will be joining the Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) with his latest documentary, "Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken!" on Saturday, December 9, followed by a discussion panel.



Hailing from New York, Spurlock’s documentaries combine humor with hard facts to drudge up truths about the reality behind the food industry, including the way meat is made and the health effects of fast food. His 2004 documentary "Super Size Me" was famous for how Spurlock personally partook in only eating fast food for a period of time and documented his declining health. The film earned him an Academy Award Nomination.

Spurlock will be joined by his writers and producers Jeremy Chilnick and producer Matthew Galkin, who are part of his production company Warrior Poets. Spurlock will also host the DIFF’s "In Conversation" documentary event on Monday, December 11, at the Dubai Film Market’s festival HQ forum.



The 14th edition of the Dubai International Film Festival runs from December 6 until December 13.
