Vandana Shiva, an environmental activist, travels around the world in a quest to eliminate the use of genetically modified foods and seeds in her home country of India and other developing countries.
In this documentary, the filmmakers follow Vandana Shiva over a two-year period, from her organic farm at the foot of the Himalayas to institutions of power all over the world. Here Vandana Shiva does battle with one of her toughest opponents, Monsanto, a huge American biotech company, when they try to patent an ancient Indian strain of wheat.—Peter Wintonick, Canadian filmmaker
