Monsanto Blamed for GMO Seeds in Puerto Rico and Weedkillers in USA
In a documentary video produced by AJ+ (run by Al Jazeera Media Network), Dena Takruri gets rare access inside Monsanto's Puerto Rico operation, where they get tax breaks to test and grow GMO (genetically modified organism) seeds. Meanwhile, thousands of plaintiffs across the U.S. are suing the corporation, claiming that its weedkiller Roundup has caused cancer. In Puerto Rico, locals are blaming Monsanto for getting them sick too:
The 2013 documentary film GMP OMG explores the systematic corporate takeover and potential loss of humanity's most precious and ancient inheritance: seeds. Filmmaker Jeremy Seifert, as a concerned father, in search of answers about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and how they affect children, the health of our planet, and freedom of choice went on a journey that took him to Haiti, Paris, Norway, and even agri-giant Monsanto.
He posed serious questions about what we eat: Is it still possible to reject our current food system, or have we already lost something we can't get back?
