I thought this doc was an eye opener for the common man. After all the common man is the one who is the one who is consuming the food at the end of the food chain. Many of the reviewers here complain and question the qualification of the producer which I don't understand. Why should a person be qualified when he asking simple questions about what we put in our body? Why is GMO banned in different countries around the world but it's not even labeled as such here in the US?The documentary presented the facts about food which we eat in our daily lives. And it raised questions about how it is slowly impacting our body. I disagree with reviewers who are saying this is not credible enough because the filmmaker is not a scientist or considered a "professional" in the field, or that it's too biased. The filmmaker does not himself have to be a scientist or a "professional in the field" to create a credible product, so long as it is well- researched and well-produced, and it is. The documentary was meant to be (as just about every other documentary is meant to be) thought-provoking and inspirational, and it was, definitely. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to find out more info on the subject of GMOs, and if you are disappointed that there wasn't more info provided, maybe do some independent research on the reports and articles mentioned? This doc isn't supposed to be the only source of information on the subject, there's lot's to read and watch. Definitely a great starting point though, for sure!

This documentary is god awful. Don't be fooled by the quaint indie score or the silly smiles the narrator makes in the film. This documentary is completely full of lies that half an hour of research can easily disprove.Let me first make clear that despite the film's claim that there are 0 peer reviewed there are over 2000 that show that either GMOs are no more harmful than organic crops or are even better. His Haiti stuff is such a disgusting desperate attempt at an emotional appeal. You're dealing with a populace that has no idea about the science of GMOs and the leader of the movement claims that there are health harms and severe economic and environmental harms. The only one of those claims that is remotely true is environmental harms, which is part of his decrease in biodiversity claim and the increase in herbicides. Those claims are true, but biodiversity impact is extremely exaggerated and he doesn't understand the difference between herbicide and pesticide. Pesticides ARE in the seeds, but they have been Proved to be unharmful to humans.Next, I'd like to discuss his conflation of Monsanto and GMOs. While Monsanto is the biggest manufacturer of GMOs, they are not the same thing. Some of their business practices are controversial, namely their 1 harvest "terminator seeds" (there's a difference, Monsanto doesn't sell terminator seeds, but their patent makes farmers rebuy which is what they mean to refer to in the film). While the vast majority of farmers restock after every harvest anyway, I understand the concern. However, we must understand that the practices of GMO companies do not mean GMOs are bad, it means the company's practices are bed. On the topic of Monsanto, please take the time to research Monsanto lawsuits and you'll understand how stupid and ignorant his claims are. And the reason Monsanto spends so much to stop labeling is BS propaganda like this film. As he proved right after demonizing Monsanto for this, when people find out their eating GMOs they get scared even though they clearly are just finding out what GMO means. It's not that they know their products are bad, it's that people think they're bad despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.Lastly and perhaps the most bothersome part of this movie for me (above his gross Haiti and WWII appeal, his mangling of statistics, the conflation of issues, and just straight out lying) is the way he treats his children. The kids grow up being fed BS propaganda by their insane father. Whenever he leaves, they obviously enjoy the foods and again the health harms he claims will hurt the kids when their older have no scientific basis. He forces his kids to hold up the GMO signs and scares them into believing propaganda, which is so freaking disgusting to watch. It makes me sick.I have to leave you guys with a suggestion: DO SOME RESEARCH into this guys claims. I researched GMOs in depth for a year and it's horrible to watch this guy fooling so many people. Let it be know that I am extremely liberal meaning I identify with an ideology that largely takes the side of the narrator, but I'm a liberal, because I believe things that are factual. In the same way Gay Marriage has no credible evidence to support it leads to bestiality as many claim; in the same way there's no evidence to support that the war on drugs has stopped drug use at all; there's no evidence to support that GMOs are more harmful to your health than non-GMOs. Do research, I beg of you.

I had no idea why GMO was a big fuss until I watched this documentary. It clearly explained what a GMO is, how it was introduced,the history, and the problems we face today with the farmers and Monsanto specifically. The narrator interviewed both sides so that you could hear the other side's argument. It is a bit one sided, but the narrator wants to make a point. The experts at Monsanto refused any interviews. The interviews he did with his kids were not to be taken seriously. They were to show what children think of GMO and their understanding. It upsets me that organic farmers have been forced to buy Monsanto's seeds because Monsanto threatened to sue them. The overall movie was very informational, and I recommend watching it before judging.

The concerning aspect of genetically modified organisms in food is examined in this surprisingly sweet documentary. Pesticides, herbicides and frankenfoods are unpleasant subjects, but this film softens the blow of bad news about what we eat by using the narrative thread of a father out to find answers about what's in the food he feeds his kids. It was news to me that countries as non-citizen-loving as Russia and China require labeling on GMO food products, while the US does not. With anti-Monsanto marches happening around the country, this film provides a good capsule of information about the GMO issue. The dry science is offset by a range of easy-on-the-eye locations such as Haiti, Norway and France.
