“The extent of the Monsanto corporation’s evildoing, and how they’ve been able to get away with it for so long, is the subject of the scrupulous, thorough and damning new film.”
-Montreal Mirror
“Devastating exposé... will freeze the blood in your veins.”
- The Gazette
“Presents a cogent and
horrifying enough picture of the world’s leading seed manufacturer to warrant concern and fury.”
- Hour
One of the most controversial companies in history, Monsanto’s history is littered with lawsuits, toxic products, and cover-ups. Combining previously secret documents with first-hand accounts by victims, scientists, and politicians, the film pieces together the massive lies, pressure, and collusion with the US government, used to gain market supremacy. Meanwhile, their unchecked technology threatens human health and the environment with an unparalleled catastrophe.

What is a GMO?
Genetic engineering involves crossing the natural boundaries between species to combine traits from one organism with another. GMOs have not been proven to be safe and chances are: You are eating them. Monsanto is the largest producer or GMOs in the world, a company with one of most histories littered with lawsuits, toxic products, and cover-ups.
