This documentary is a waste of resources. I didn't see any long term research science showing GMO'S are safe. The problem is monoculture which makes mono crops vulnerable to pests, pathogens etc...If Hawaii was growing 10 different species of Papayas that would've never happened so GMO would be unnecessary. It also doen't show any scientists trying to bring back biodiversity or any other natural solutions to the problem just wants you to know scientists are right. Which is a waste of an hour of my time. Neill, keep looking for water on Mars like the rest of useless scientist out there.

That documentary is bias. It brings a very valid point: environmentalists are often presenting arguments that aren't based on scientific evidences. I wish it could have been presenting a revue of scientific studies that present us the pros and cons of using that technology. But it focuses more on bashing the opponent or trying to make them silly. If you are following the debate on GMO, this documentary is worth seeing for the covering of Hawaiians papaya or the banana crop in Uganda, as I don't think it was much covered in other documentary on the genre. It looks like it was financed by the industry. The filmmaker uses the same tools claimed to be problematic: manipulating the viewers to gain public sympathy.

I saw this last week. It's really great to see a science-based look at this topic, rather than the emotional, non-science viewpoint of those who don't understand it, which has been the typical Hollywood presentation of this subject. I wish it could have covered some topics in more depth, but movies have their limitations. A large portion of the population has been misled into believing genetically modified crops are inherently bad, and poor people around the world suffer because of the influence of westerners who have more money than they have science education. The only reason I gave 9 stars instead of 10 is that there should have been more subtitles for those of us English-speakers not adept at understanding heavy accents.

I saw this at the DC Environmental Film Festival. I didn't know to expect, given the audience, but the crowd really enjoyed the movie. So unlike many of the people reviewing here, I've actually seen the film. There was also a panel of experts discussing the film after the showing, and they did the best they could to answer audience member questions. This film addresses pretty much every argument you might have against GMOS, and then show how the claims against them are untrue. Issues of health, safety, environment, big business, corporate shills, weed resistance, pesticides, yield, etc. and correct the misinformation that 's out there on the web by talking to actual scientists who actually work with GMOs. A much better source than some random person who opposes them, don't you think?This is an excellent film to watch if you're not sure where you stand on the issue of GMOs, or have heard a bit about it, but don't know enough to really go either way. If you are completely closed- minded about the issue, then don't bother, because no amount of science, logic, and reason is going to change your mind, to paraphrase Tamar Haspel in the movie.
