Featured review
As is any documentary because it´s always been made through the eye of the director.
And this one doesn´t like big corporations. Well, I don´t either.
To know that Bill Gates and his collegues are not just some kind philantrophists who want to bring the blessing of GMO plants to Africa to secure Africas peoples nutrition, I wouldn´t have needed to watch this documentary.
Still, it explains this and more in short scenes and in a way that everybody who can think independently, can understand it.
I learned in the last years that GMO itself isn´t a bad thing. I do understand this from a scientific point of view.
This doesn´t change a thing about the fact that corporations are doing everything they can to win and exercise power over poor countries to make huge profits. They use GMO plants for this. Because these they can patent and own. Any farmer who steps into a dependency of these plants is going to be lost because he will have to pay for the seed and the fertilizer and the pesticides and the techniques etc.
None of the big corporations that produce and sell pesticides/fertilizer/seed have any interest in feeding the world. All they want is to make a profit - at all costs for the societies.
Anybody who seriously wants to help fight hunger in the world shows people how they can grow plants with permaculture and how they can support healthy soil and grow plants in dry places without technical stuff that has to be bought from a company.
