Burning the Seeds

GMO Film Project Sizzler from Compeller Pictures on Vimeo.

I spotted this amazing project on the (also amazing) blog Pacing the Panic Room, and knew I had to share.

"The GMO Film Project (Untitled) tells the story of a father’s discovery of GMO’s through the symbolic act of poor Haitian farmers burning seeds in defiance of Monsanto’s gift of 475 tons of hybrid corn and vegetable seeds to Haiti shortly after the devastating earthquake. After a journey to Haiti to learn why hungry farmers would burn seeds, the real awakening of what has happened to our food, what we are feeding our families, and what is at stake for the global food supply unfolds in a trip across the United States in search of answers."

It's an amazing story about how people who've known more pain that most of us can ever even imagine were still able to stand strong.
