Monsanto is Scary!
AGRA Watch Film Night & CAGJ Fundraiser
Film: "The World According to Monsanto"

About The World According to Monsanto: Monsanto's controversial past combines some of the most toxic products ever sold with misleading reports, pressure tactics, collusion, and attempted corruption. They now race to genetically engineer (and patent) the world's food supply, which profoundly threatens our health, environment, and economy. Combining secret documents with first-hand accounts by victims, scientists, and politicians, this widely praised film exposes why Monsanto has become the world's poster child for malignant corporate influence in government and technology. A film by Marie-Monique Robin.

ABOUT AGRA WATCH: AGRA Watch is a project of the Community Alliance for Global Justice, founded to monitor and challenge the Gates Foundation's participation in the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), which promotes large-scale industrial farming. AGRA Watch supports socially and ecologically appropriate agricultural practices determined locally by African small-scale farmers and believe that food sovereignty is key to ending global hunger and poverty. We view and discuss films every month about issues central to our work: sustainable agriculture in Africa, resistance to corporate globalization, food systems, hunger, international development and aid, philanthropy, and the roles of women.
