Morgan Spurlock is an award-winning writer, director and producer whose documentary "Super Size Me" explores the obesity epidemic that plagues America today and has been described as the "Bowling for Columbine" for fast food. During the making of the film, Spurlock subjected himself to a 30-day "McDonald's Only" diet to document the impact on his health. He also traveled to 20 cities across America, interviewing people on the street, health experts and a lobbyist for the fast-food industry. He was honored with the Best Director award in Documentary Competition at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival.
