 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\nThis film is brought 
 to us by California Right to Know – campaigning for the passage of 
 Proposition 37 (labeling GM foods sold in California) offered in our 
 November ballots, to be voted on November 6.\n\nWheelchair accessible 
 around the corner at  411  28th  Street\n\n$5 donations are accepted\n
