Eric Schlosser Biography

As an investigative journalist, Eric Schlosser explores subjects ignored by the mainstream media and gives a voice to people on the margins of society. Over the years, he has followed the harvest with migrant farm workers in California, spent time with meatpacking workers in Texas and Colorado, told the stories of marijuana growers and pornographers, and the victims of violent crime, gone on duty with the New York Police Department Bomb Squad, and visited prisons throughout the United States. His work, which defies easy categorization, sheds light on worlds that are too often hidden.

Schlosser’s first book, "Fast Food Nation" (2001), was pivotal in changing how Americans think about what they eat. Translated into more than twenty languages, it remained on the New York Times bestseller list for two years. His subsequent books, "Reefer Madness" (2003) and "Command and Control" (2013), the latter a finalist for the 2014 Pulitzer Prize in History, also reached the New York Times bestseller list. His work as a producer and documentary filmmaker includes credits in "Fast Food Nation" (2006), "There Will Be Blood" (2007), "Food, Inc." (2008), and "Food Chains" (2014). Additionally, he co-created and co-directed "the bomb" (2016), a multimedia installation that has been presented at international venues such as the Tribeca Film Festival, the Berlin Film Festival, and the Nobel Peace Prize ceremonies in Oslo.

Before his career in non-fiction, Schlosser was a playwright and worked for an independent film company. He has returned to those fields in recent years, with plays produced in London and significant involvement in film production. Schlosser served as an executive producer and co-wrote the feature film "Fast Food Nation," directed by Richard Linklater. He was also an executive producer for "There Will Be Blood," directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. His work extends beyond writing and film into impactful public speaking, with appearances at the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, and the United Nations, discussing contemporary issues that influence daily life. Currently, Schlosser is working on a new book about the American prison system, continuing his exploration of critical social issues.

Eric Schlosser Speaking Topics

  • Covid 19 and the Food System

    The coronavirus pandemic has exposed the flaws, injustices and fragility of America’s food system. But the pandemic has also created an opportunity to build a system that is more sustainable, resilient, and compassionate.

  • The Hands That Feed Us

    Farmworkers, meatpacking workers, and restaurant workers are the foundation of our food economy—but they are also among the poorest, most exploited, most likely to be undocumented workers in the country. If you eat, you are connected to these men and women with every bite.

  • The Bomb, and Why We Must Remember It

    Right now the world faces three great existential threats: climate change, viral pandemics, and nuclear weapons. Of the three, nuclear weapons pose by far the greatest immediate danger yet receive the least attention--a fact that only increases the threat.

  • The Longest War

    Since Ronald Reagan declared the War on Drugs in 1982, millions of Americans have been arrested and imprisoned for non-violent drug crimes—and yet today illegal drugs are less expensive and more readily available than forty years ago. As the sale of cannabis becomes socially acceptable and widely legalized, we urgently need to end the drug war and rethink how we treat people who abuse drugs.

  • The Risks of Complex Tech

    Nuclear weapons, commercial airliners, driverless cars—all three are machines that can go wrong in unexpected ways. As the world grows more and more dependent on complex technological systems, we must keep in mind the flaws inherent in them and maintain a sense of humility about them. In this talk, Schlosser highlights that everything we create is imperfect, often in hidden ways, with potentially catastrophic consequences that need to be managed.
