The Sporkful Presents: How Did ‘Super Size Me’ End Up In Schools?

We're sharing an episode from the Sporkful podcast. In 2004, Morgan Spurlock released his low-budget documentary Super Size Me, and achieved success that most documentary filmmakers can only dream about. The film made millions at the box office, it was nominated for an Academy Award, and it turned Morgan into a star. To this day, the film is still shown in middle school and high school health classes across the country. But in 2017, Morgan made a shocking confession that derailed his career and called into question Super Size Me’s original claims. Last year, weeks after the film’s twentieth anniversary, Morgan died of cancer. The Sporkful looked into the legacy of Super Size Me. Sporkul senior producer Andres O’Hara talks with some of the people closest to Morgan to figure out: Who really was Morgan Spurlock? How did Super Size Me become such a huge hit? And after all these years, should we still be showing it to kids? Listen and Follow The Sporkful wherever you get your podcasts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
