Great to see there are actually SOME movies that reveal the underhanded operations of the evil who are in control. What SHOULD be exposed is that the public are being given vaccines that have not been evaluated for carcinogenic, mutagenic or impairment of fertility, it is stated in all the vaccine inserts in section 13, but NO-ONE says anything about that. Makes one think WHERE autism comes from.
Great movie. The rating is an indication of how naive and gullible the general population is about GMOs.Why do someone find it hard to believe that playing with genes and consuming that wouldn't affect their body? I have worked with GMOs and can say that the portrayal in the movie is very close to reality. Amazing movie and everyone must see it. This must be made compulsory in all schools. The plot revolves around a very plausible mother who tries to find the cause of her son's disease. It also includes the lies spread by GMO giants in exploiting Asia.Acting could have been better,but it is compensated by the depth of movie, questions it raises and truth it brings to main stream media.
I'm not surprised in the least the Pro Monsanto trolls above who gave the film one star are spewing their propaganda because they don't want people to see this important film that tells the truth. Classic of them to try and make people not see the reality. This film is impressive. It is one of those stories you rarely get to see Hollywood make anymore because they are too busy making giant Superhero movies. This is a subtle and intriguing suspense thriller like those of old. The acting is amazing. This cast is killer. So fun to see Anthony Edwards and Kunal Nayyar act together. I have to say, I was surprised at every turn. Lots of twists and turns along the way. It's great storytelling. Looks STUNNING. Fantastic cinematography for an indie film with lots of beautiful locations. Most importantly, it's about something real. This affects me and my children and I give many thanks to this filmmaker for putting this amazing work out there.
Although my title refers to the b i o t e c h(This review site sensors the non-spaced word b i o t e c h) influence in Washington, the movie neglects to go into this in detail. However, I found it involving and the characters were engaging. The lead roll played by Zoe Lister-Jones, was believable, as were Danny Glover, Anthony Edwards, and Kunal Nayyar of The Big Bang Theory. Although it feels like a TV movie, the story line and character development kept my attention throughout, and I loved the ending! Not a perfect thriller, but certainly much better than some of the low ratings we see here. If the b i o t e c h shills did not vote, the current rating would of course be higher, which is why my score is an solid 8 in attempt to offset the artificial and misleading ratings.
So far in 2016, Pharmaceuticals / Health Products spent $21,045,569 with 3.2 Billion for it's lobby efforts, while the GM industry alone spent $165,544 to influence bipartisan legislation. Monsanto has invested $74,252,724 since 1998 for lobbying in Washington. Look up OpenSecrets.
I don't know.. you tell me, if your product is so good, then why bribe our so called law makers for favorable outcomes?

An overly dramatic but well-produced and well-acted thriller that lumps together in one narrative all the concerns, mostly legitimate, that many consumers have about GMOs. It is no wonder that a powerful, paternalistic industry that cloaks itself in secrecy would give rise to such paranoiac visions of our food system. The film touches all the emotional buttons involving the struggle of the powerless individual citizen against the all powerful mega-corporation: the single mother of a sick child, a poor organic farmer, the young idealistic immigrant post-doc; their stories interwoven along with bad guys to boot: the nasty corporate general counsel and GMO cops. While the movie is highly entertaining, I would recommend also seeing the documentaries "Genetic Roulette" and "GMO OMG," which are more informative about the issues. Nevertheless this is a good starting point for those not familiar with GMOs and trying to understand why so many people are against them. It does give an insight into the passions behind the anti-GMO movement, which is not going to go away anytime soon.

- TriviaMany of the scenes were shot in the Natural History Building on the University of Illinois campus. The building was available as it had recently been deemed structurally unsound (and would later undergo an eighty-three million dollar renovation). The metal pillars in the hallways were actual support beams. The lab in which Kunal Nayyar and Anthony Edwards worked, was an evacuated honors class lab for Integrative Biology students.
