Documentary filmmaker known for playful critique of consumerism and capitalism
"The world has lost a true creative genius and a special man," says his brother
Morgan Spurlock, the filmmaker and former CNN series host whose McDonald's documentary "Super Size Me" playfully critiqued consumerism and capitalism, has died at the age of 53. Known for his groundbreaking work, Spurlock leaves behind a legacy of challenging the status quo and inspiring change.
Oscar-nominated documentary maker Morgan Spurlock, best known for his 2004 fast food film "Super Size Me," has passed away. His brother, Craig, described him as a "true creative genius" and a "special man."
Spurlock's "Super Size Me" was a groundbreaking documentary that followed Spurlock as he ate nothing but McDonald's for 30 days. The film exposed the harmful effects of fast food and its impact on health.
Spurlock's work extended beyond "Super Size Me." He was the host of CNN's "Inside Man," a series that tackled issues such as the legalization of marijuana and the opioid crisis.
Spurlock's passing is a significant loss for the film industry and society as a whole. His work sparked important conversations about health, consumerism, and the role of corporations in our lives.
