 Scientists Under Attack: 
Genetic Engineering in the 
Magnetic Field of Money

Bertram Verhaag • 2009 • 60 min

7pm Tuesday, Nov 29, 2011

At the All Souls UU Church

4501 Walnut, KCMO (just east of 45th & Main)

When scientist Arpad Pusztai reported that genetically modified (GM) foods caused serious health problems in rats, he was a hero at his prestigious UK institute -- for two days. But after two phone calls (apparently) from the Prime Minister's office, he was fired, gagged, and mercilessly attacked. When UC Berkeley professor Ignacio Chapela discovered GM corn contamination in Mexico, he too faced a firestorm of distortion and denial that left him struggling to salvage his career. Is the biotech industry trying to “engineer” the truth and hide things from the public?

A discussion, led by Craig Volland, follows the film.
