First, this is ‘The World According to Monsanto’, a French made (English language) documentary over the activities of Monsanto since 1964. This goes along well with the post I made a few days ago about the Indian farmer suicides and the associated discussion. Apparently this has not been shown on US TV, even though efforts have been made to find a network who would accept it. The only way people in the US can watch it is if they buy the DVD or watch it on the Internet.
Another video I have on DVD is ‘The Future of Food‘. A reader sent me this DVD and suggested I should share it with others after watching it myself. This features some of the same people interviewed in the video above, and tells a slightly different story that’s not really Monsanto specific.
If anyone out there is interested in being the next receipient of this DVD, send me an email. If more than one person is interested I will give priority to people I know, live nearby and/or have left comment(s) on posts here in the past. Hopefully, whoever gets it will pass it on to someone else when they are finished.
Update: I forgot to mention this DVD is region encoded for North America. This means if you don’t live in NA, you need to have a region free player.
Ironically I hadn’t been online in the past day and had just finished posting a new blog about the future of food doc only to check you site and see you posted about it too! That’s pretty cool. Perhaps we think very much alike.
Our local video rental store has it (I’m in Canada) and many others may also have it for people to rent. It would be interesting to rent it and have a movie night with as many people as possible watching together.
