Amidst a brutally polarized debate marked by passion, suspicion and confusion, FOOD EVOLUTION, by Academy Award®-nominated director Scott Hamilton Kennedy (The Garden, Fame High, OT: Our Town), explores the controversy surrounding GMOs and food. Traveling from Hawaiian papaya groves, to banana farms in Uganda to the cornfields of Iowa, the film, narrated by esteemed science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson, wrestles with the emotions and the science driving one of the most heated arguments of our time.

I am glad that we have some good science, evidence, data. However, this documentary fails to show that Glyphosate is being absorbed by plants in "Round Up Ready" crops. Breakfast cereals have glyphosate in them, like mercury is found in certain sea life. While the Rainbow Papaya solves a problem, the Round Up Ready crop is NOT the only choice for Agriculture. Watch THE SOIL INSTITUTE soil health documentary on how to have a large farm and run it organically. Watch SUSTAINABLE to learn about the plant's natural 'immune system' and how to support the plant to naturally repel viruses, bacteria, bad fungi, and bugs.

Can't purchase it. Only the french dub available in France. Wish I could watch it... A shame Netflix refused it, but pls make it available in France with the original voices !!!

Get's to the crux of addressing human susceptibility to fear and bias. And highlights that science in itself is not inherently a political or even popular exercise, it's the method in which humans use to find consensus on a fact, or an emergent truth, which is measurable and reproducible and subject to change given improvements in technology and data. I highly recommend this documentary for those that feel adrift in the competing narratives of industry and politics, and want to get a better grounding in the world of rigorous fact.
