Food Fight

Absolutely amazing — a short film chronicling conflicts from World War II — as food.

I think this has to have the highest amount of Wikipedia-linkable references per second of any film I’ve seen. Yes, it’s U.S.-centric, but so is Wikipedia, which makes cataloguing it easier. At the very least:

• World War II
  • Persecution of Jews and The Holocaust
  • Invasion of France
  • The Blitz
  • Pearl Harbor, Pacific Theater
  • D-Day
  • Liberation of France
    Invasion of Germany – Western and Eastern fronts
  • Atomic bombing of Hiroshima
• 1948 Arab-Israeli War
• Korean War
• Cuban Missile Crisis
• Vietnam War
  • French Indochina War
  • U.S. involvement
• US/USSR nuclear arms race
• First Gulf War
  
  • Invasion of Kuwait
• Israeli-Palestinian conflict
  • Judging from its timing in the film, maybe specifically the First Intifada?
• 9/11 attacks
• War in Afghanistan
  • Taliban falls, but some escape, with Osama bin Laden
• 2003 Iraq war and aftermath

Many lessons learned about food violence, 20th century war, and Wikipedia meronymic article relationships…
