Synopsis
Implanted in over forty countries around the globe, Monsanto became the world leader of GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms, also known as Transgenic) and one of the most controversial enterprises in history. Calling on unpublished documents and first-handed accounts by some of the victims, politicians and scientists, this documentary reconstitutes the rise of an economic empire. The author reveals the obscure strategies of multinationals to change the laws in the United Sates – thus allowing to hide the truth about transgenic effects on human beings.
