“Quietly Inflammatory! The film poses many ticklish ethical and scientific
questions.
The movie outlines the pluses, the minuses and the imponderables.
One of the film’s more unsettling revelations is its identification
of the connections
between Monsanto and top government officials…”
– Stephen Holden, The New York Times
“A muckraking exposé that attempts to raise the level of
public debate
through responsible research and sober rhetoric.
She wisely
eschews standard anti-corporate bombast for measured.
A worthy veggie
side dish.”
– James Crawford, Village Voice
“There are many kinds of horror movies – monster, slasher,
sci-fi.
THE FUTURE OF FOOD is a little bit of each…
Makes a very
complicated subject very accessible.
Any audience, outside of a Monsanto
stockholders meeting, will undoubtedly be outraged.”
– John
Anderson, Newsday
“Will do to agricultural giant Monsanto what BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE
did to Lockheed Martin.
There isn’t a single dull moment in this
shocking cine-essay.
Garcia so powerfully defends her position without
a lick of Moore’s righteous indignation,
(that it) makes her the
more effective investigative reporter.”
– Ed Gonzalez, SlantMagazine

CINEMA LIBRE STUDIO
WHAT THE CORPORATION DID FOR CORPORATE AMERICA,
THE FUTURE OF FOOD DOES FOR THE AMERICAN FARM.
Deborah Koons Garcia’s muckraking documentary
explores the revolution that is transforming what
we eat — the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled,
genetically modified food that graces your dinner
plate. Monsanto, world’s leading producer of GM
crops, comes in for particularly close scrutiny as a
leader in this brave new world of biotech business —
a place where issues of agricultural production,
cutting-edge science, profits, conservation, public
health and civil liberties all collide.
