About Us
Crowd Source Capital Films is a UK/USA production company producing hard hitting documentaries on provocative subject matter. In the tradition of Michael Moore's "Capitalism A Love Story", "Siko", "Bowling For Columbine" and Morgan Spurlock's Supersize Me comes "Split" a film that explores the subculture of family law in Los Angeles and London, England. Based on a personal story "Split" interviews real stories, real attorneys and asks the question is this Law? or Mercury? It lurches from painful true stories to the absurd and asks who are the winners...divorce will never be the same!

Super Size Me is a 2004 documentary film directed by and starring Morgan Spurlock, an American independent filmmaker. Spurlock's film follows a 30-day time period (February to beginning of March 2003) during which he eats only McDonald's food. The film documents this lifestyle's drastic effects on Spurlock's physical and psychological well-being, and explores the fast food industry's corporate influence, including how it encourages poor nutrition for its own profit. Spurlock dined at McDonald's restaurants three times per day, sampling every item on the chain's menu. He also always "super-sized" his meal if given the option to. Spurlock consumed an average of 20.92 megajoules or 5,000 kcal (the equivalent of 9.26 Big Macs) per day during the experiment. As a result, the then-32-year-old Spurlock gained 24½ lbs. (1¾ stone, 11.1 kg), a 13% body mass increase, a cholesterol level of 230, and experienced mood swings, sexual dysfunction, and liver damage. It took Spurlock fourteen months to lose the weight gained from his experiment.
The stated driving factor for Spurlock's investigation was the increasing spread of obesity throughout U.S. society, which the Surgeon General has declared "epidemic," and the corresponding lawsuit brought against McDonald's on behalf of two overweight girls, who, it was alleged, became obese as a result of eating McDonald's food. Spurlock points out that although the lawsuit against McDonald's failed (and subsequently many state legislatures have legislated against product liability actions against producers and distributors of "fast food"), much of the same criticism leveled against the tobacco companies applies to fast food franchises, although it could be argued that fast food, though physiologically addictive and more physically harmful,[1][2] is not as addictive as nicotine.
The documentary was nominated for an Academy Award for Documentary Feature.[3]
It has been reported that a comic book version of the movie is in the works with Dark Horse as the publisher. [4]
