Like a couple of other reviewers here, I am not a full-on GM supporter. Hell, I've got no love for Monsanto. But I must agree that while raising a few absolutely crucial points, this documentary comes across as deliberately manipulative and one-sided - as much so as the Penn & Teller special presenting the other side of straw-man land. Anyone who knows anything about propaganda ought to be insulted by the dramatic music, dramatic images, and far-reaching inferences presented here. While perhaps it's a good introduction to the problems we're facing with agribusiness, particularly for indigenous people, I hope that people go out and read a few books and reach their own conclusions.
