Future or CURRENT state of our food?

The is a wonderful documentary about how evil and absolutely narrow focused profit driven a corporation can be. This important film shows how destructive to democracy the corporate agenda of Monsatan is. Not just spreading its seed around the country(Canada) but into the US and of course around the world. This provides first hand evidence of Monsanto tyranny on the small farmer and how it isn't just get-big-or-get-out, in the Industrial Farming system, it's do it our way or we'll investigate you, threaten and follow through with law-suits to bankrupt the small farmer and use the the legal system in Canada and the United States to promote the corporation's rights, at the expense of the consumer, the small local farmers, and the world--with such a stance on GMO as ANY level of contamination = your crop is no longer Organic, no longer non-GMO, and no longer even YOURS, it is spreading the disaster of GMO around the world. Thank you to all the Percys out there who stand up to such corporations that are showing through their continued profit-driven actions how harmful they are to society.

Welcome to the age of genetic engineering

An excellent documentary presenting the struggle between the farmers and the corporate giant "Monsanto". Shows the cruel reality of todays world where corporations can deprive the common man of everything he owns based on false claims. Inevitable questions are raised in the mind of the viewer - Who decides that GMOs are safe? Are we willing to sacrifice the good of our children for some profit in the short run? Where will the corporate lust for money and control lead us?

Watch this documentary, it's an important educational piece. It will open your eyes on the topic and will show you what the big fuss around GMOs is all about.

NB: Very Depressing Expose!

When I first heard about GE crops I was super excited. The scientific breakthroughs required to modify genes was immeasurably futuristic and full of promise. I had no concept of glyphosphate and it's toxic impact on human health. Now the Great State of California has declared it a known carcinogen. How do we fight this corporate giant when this substance is clearly ubiquitous?

Be prepared for some shocking revelations about the tactics used to intimidate farmers to either sign up with the Monsanto program or perish. It is revolting what our Government allows to occur to our food supply. I was planning on living a long healthy disease free life but that is in substantial doubt given these greedy players.

My deepest sympathies goes to the poor hard working smaller family farmers. Their numbers are being decimated due to this influence of quick profits. I pray to God that this evil is obliterated and soon!

For fiction it is ok, but it implies it is the truth.

I found my understanding of the court proceedings and results were not portrayed accurately. The seed seeded was over 95% pure Monsanto licenced seed. He lost in a Supreme Court ruling. The movie is acted well, just not factual.
