It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Sophie (Zoe Lister-Jones) is a waitress working at Charley's studying business communication . Along with the help of her mom (Beth Grant) she struggles to raise her son Garret (Nick Wilkin) who has recently developed a skin rash of unknown origin. Sophie goes on line and discovers that it must be the genetically modified food (most likely just one specific food and not just anything modified). This allows us to expose the real life practices of companies such as Monsanto or "Clonestra" in this case.The film in itself was not a true story but was created by piecing together real events. The plus side of genetically modified foods is mentioned briefly in a sales pitch, although there is more such as the changing environment and stronger diseases requiring sturdier plants. Zoe Lister-Jones nails it as a concerned mom fighting her own demons, although we are left hanging about the son. The tie-in to Danny Glover as an organic farmer added the issue of cross contamination and harassment. When they introduced Serge (Kunal Nayyar) as an Indian researcher in order to highlight third world practices, it stretched the film's credibility. This should have been background material.The current fight for the group that made the film is to force companies to label GMOs beyond tomatoes.Guide:F-words. No sex or nudity.

Movie does a great job of exposing how evil our corporations are. I now know why after 50 years I get bumps on me when I eat wheat. It started at the time roundup was put on wheat. What a coincidence. We are being poisoned for profit. The rest of the world has awaken to the GMO craze of our corporations, when will the American people take their country back? The movie seem very real from all the stories I have heard from doctors and farmers through the years. Companies have become cancers on us. WE are in a war for survival. This movie shows that. People who give it a negative review are either brainwashed or work for the company.

This film is just phenomenal. It's rather eye opening and chilling at times. The film is well research and unearths the serious issues surrounding GMO's in the USA. It is the only first world country that does not label GMO's. This people shows the power to the people. Do your own research, speak up and demand transparency. I'm lucky to live in Australia where labeling is mandatory. BUY ORGANIC WHERE POSSIBLE. I love that they have utilized a film medium, building up a great character profile. All in all, i'm very impressed with this amazing film. It's Erin Brockovich meets the health world. Its an amazing cast and a very emotional story line. Share it around and watch it with your family and friends. This film uncovers issues that are being covered up.

I wanted to say hey this is actually a good film and it is actually researched. I wanted to see for myself so I went onto pub-med and actually found a whole bunch of studies linking GMOs and Monsanto roundup to autistic behavior, all kinds of allergies and yes even cancer. There are many reputable scientists who are genuinely concerned about the use of modified crops that can handle large amounts of pesticides that end up in the food in bigger numbers than ever before. You are what you eat, and the more we allow pesticides and chemicals like roundup that has been clinically proved to disrupt enzymes and proteins and cause cellular mutations then the worse off we are. There is good hard science backing the stories in this film yet many average people simply don't know this because the corporately owned media does its best to paint GMOs in a positive light. Go on pub-med and search yourself! Itys a shame this film is getting such bad ratings because of "damage control" from fake profiles and just plain old ignorant public who simply have no clue how GMOs are even created and why the science still has a long way to go before its safe. We are creating new toxic proteins and stuff that our bodies don't like or want. You can prove this to yourself, buy some food that you know is GMO, and buy the same kind of food that is organic and then try and feed both to your dog or cat (something they like obviously) and you'll notice that the animals somehow know what is GMO and what is not, they instinctively ALWAYS go for the natural non GMO and leave the GMO product in the bowl. This had been proved also with mice. When mice invade a farm shed they always leave the GMO seeds, wont eat them but they eat everything else. Why? because nature knows best. Also when you feed GMO food to animals they develop much higher cases of abnormalities, swollen glands and have higher cancer rates. This is a scientific fact here. Im not making anything up because I don't need to. Its just that the average public have no idea of these facts because these facts you have to dig deep for because no one in the corporate media will write articles about this. In fact they are paid my agricultural companies to write positive spin about GMOS. This is how it actually is. This is a really important film and if you google it you'll also find out these A list actors also agree about the dangers of GMOs and the feel passionately about it, because they are informed.
