GMO OMG (2013)

GMO OMG: Directed by Jeremy Seifert. With Jeremy Seifert, Vandana Shiva, Cary Fowler, Dennis Kucinich. Filmmaker Jeremy Seifert journeys to Haiti, Paris, Norway, and even agri-giant Monsanto in search of answers about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and how they affect our children, the health of our planet, and our freedom of choice.

“A huge disappointment. Failed to provide a balanced argument about the GMO. Arguments were based in fear mongering with his innocent children as his marionettes. Failed to consult any science professionals. He states early on in the film that there are two types of GMOs. It takes a very minimal amount of research to realize that there a plethora of GMOs beyond the two he mentioned…Nutritional fortified sweet potatoes to ameliorate malnourishment or disease resistant GMO to increase yields in underperforming landscapes, and this list is by no means exhaustive. There is a clear oversight of anything remotely scientific in his arguments. There is something to be said about the fact that the majority of peer reviewed literature focused on the topic of genetically modified organisms are in their defense. I am not speaking from the perspective of a corporate sponsor rather from a concerned global citizen who fears for the future of growing populations that deserves to be fed.”
