7:00 PM - THE FUTURE OF FOOD (Documentary)
San Jose Peace & Justice Center, 48 South 7th Street, San Jose
This documentary offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing
truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods
that have quietly filled grocery store shelves for the past decade.
From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to the fields of Oaxaca,
Mexico, this film gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods
have been negatively impacted by this new technology. The health
implications, government policies and push towards globalization are
all part of the reason why many people are alarmed about the
introduction of genetically altered crops into our food supply. Shot
on location in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, The Future of Food
examines the complex web of market and political forces that are
changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations seek to
control the world's food system. The film also explores alternatives
to large-scale industrial agriculture.
