Genetically Modified Food: Panacea or Poison?
In the last thirty years global demand for food has doubled. In a race to feed the planet, scientists have discovered how to manipulate DNA, the blueprint of life, and produce what they claim are stronger, more disease-resistant crops. However, fears that genetically modified food may not be safe for humans or the environment has sparked violent protest. This documentary asks, are we participating in a dangerous worldwide nutritional experiment? Is the production of genetically modified food a panacea for world hunger or a global poison?
