| | Notes | Could be interesting this since Germany considers itself BSE free and voted (Nov98) against the U.K. being able to renew exports of beef. Surprising that more films haven't been made about this issue since there have been so many cover-ups. Generally the topic has been left to documentaries. Costa-Gravas' "Missing" (1982) is very persuasive but was made 10 years after the events. Have any feature films changed anything except keeping people out of shark infested waters? "The China Syndrome" (1979) has become a by-word for cover-ups. "Grapes of Wrath" (1940) is very powerful though I wonder how much has changed. In this film a journalist is researching an article on BSE and comes across evidence of its presence in Germany. But he is killed before publication. A colleague and his girlfriend take up the cause. Though she comes into conflict with her father who just happens to own an abattoir.
