Tail_End_Charlie The film does show both sides of this issue, but it leans towards arguments to support the potential benefits of GMOs. Like most all doc films, the bias come across in the tone and in the amount of footage which highlights certain viewpoints. Did the filmmaker select the most astute anti-GMO people, to be as fair-handed as possible? Not at all.Most of the anti-GMO people in the film came across as preachy extremists. In one scene, there's a public debate between both sides, and the anti-GMO people resembled buffoons.One thing the film did not seem to address: there are no studies on the long term effects of GMOs, many years after they're consumed. Because GMOs were introduced only about 23 years ago, I don't consider the current studies to be iron-clad. Coffee is bad, coffee is good--you know the deal--studies reveal new warnings, and then contradict themselves years later.I'm accustomed to Q&A sessions after screenings. But the brief verbal "survey" (survey?) given by the Director came off as simplistic, consisting of extremely broad questions. When one viewer expressed frustration about the film, the Director responded in testy, defensive tone. Perhaps he was burned out from battling complaints from anti-GMO activists. In contrast, when other viewers squealed their praise for his film, the Director was gracious. It was an odd few moments.I would somewhat recommend this film.

stephan_n The film has two main points. One is that activists, often with a vested interest, have been saying anything they can for years to scare people over this breeding tool. The second is that genetic engineering is just a tool. No one says it is a miracle cure for world hunger, but it should be in the toolbox when needed. For example, conventional breeding cannot be used on diseased bananas. GE breeding can.

gskibum This is an outstanding movie. A refreshing change from the unscientific perspectives pushed by so many of the other movies - movies that use emotion to manipulate the viewer into fearing the modern tools of science and agriculture. I was pleased that this movie devoted a few minutes to calling out some of the charlatans who profit from spreading fear & misinformation about agriculture and the modern tools for genetic improvement. I do wish more time was spent on exposing Vandana Shiva and the lucrative career she has made by spreading her lies and misinformation.I was very pleased that considerable time was spent on explaining the human and environmental costs of not using modern tools for genetic improvement of plants and agriculture.Another reviewer complains about the movie not showing both sides of the issue. I highly doubt the reviewer has made such a complaint about the several one-sided crock-u-mentaries out there. This reveals the reviewer didn't pay close attention to the film or didn't watch it at all.But I digress, the whole point of this movie is to offset the unscientific, emotive, manipulative perspectives of the other films. And the filmmakers largely did so by openly showing the other side and explaining how they are wrong and who they are. How the reviewer says this is a one- sided film is quite inscrutable.

Ray Shillito This is the movie that all this's who have heard negative stuff on the internet should watch. It will not convince those whose business it is to Spread fear and loathing about GMOs, instead it gives a balanced view and shows the fearmongers at work. You can judge yourself what to decide. The film won't do it for you. It leaves you to make your own conclusions. In short, anyone who cares about the planet should go and see it!
