This event was inspiring on so many levels. The film was both beautiful and haunting - addressing issues of the rising suicides in India since the introduction of Monsanto GMO seeds, which must be purchased every year. The seeds cannot be banked for future use, and they require extensive fertilizing and pesticide use. If you can see this film do so, and then examine Proposition 37 and the role of GMO's in world farming practices!
