DESCRIPTION:The evening begins with a social hour and optional pot luck supper at 6:00 
 pm,\nfollowed by the film at 7:30 pm, followed by a discussion at the end 
 of the film.\n \nTHE WORLD ACCORDING TO MONSANTO\n \nHow much outrage can a 
 single multinational corporation inspire?  How much damage can they 
 inflict?  This breathtaking film features a company that sets the new 
 standard.  From Iowa to Paraguay, from England to India, Monsanto is 
 uprooting our food supply and replacing it with their patented genetically 
 engineered creations.  And along the way, farmers, communities, and nature 
 become collateral damage.  Perhaps this critical film opens our eyes just 
 in time.  It's the work of Marie-Monique Robin whose three years of work on 
 four continents exposes why Monsanto has become the world's poster child 
 for malignant corporate influence in government and technology.  Monsanto 
 is the company that brought us saccharin, Agent Orange, bovine growth 
 harmone rBGH, Roundup herbicide, PCBs,  Bt cotton, and genetically modified 
 corn, rice, and soybeans.  Combining secret documents with accounts by 
 victims, scientists, and policy makers, Robin guides us through a web of 
 misleading reports, pressure tactics, collusion, and corruption.  We learn 
 how the company systematically tricked governments into allowing dangerous 
 genetically modified foods into our diet -- with Monsanto in charge of 
 determining if they're safe.  Monsanto's history with some of the most 
 toxic chemicals ever produced is shown alongside its history of deception 
 upon deception in high places. \n \nWheelchair accessible around the corner 
 at  411  28th  Street\n \n$5 donations are accepted\n
