About:
An exploration of the polarized debate surrounding GMOs.
I previously wrote about the film for DOC NYC’s program, saying:
As society tackles the problem of feeding our expanding population safely and sustainably, a schism has arisen between scientists and consumers, motivated by fear and distrust. Scott Hamilton Kennedy’s film, narrated by Neil deGrasse Tyson, explores the polarized debate surrounding GMOs. Looking at the real-world application of food science in the past and present, the film argues for sound science and open-mindedness in a culture that increasingly shows resistance to both.
