In the past year, we witnessed two large-scale E. coli O157:H7 outbreaks originated from California. One of them happened in Salinas Valley in September, affecting 26 states, infecting 206 people, and claiming 3 lives. Why is our modern life so vulnerable to these tiny bacteria? Besides passively waiting for its next outbreak, can we do something to fundamentally solve this problem?
This is an in-depth investigatory documentary to explore the relationship between the outbreaks and modern agricultural practice.
