Not to be missed. Heirloom seeds are disappearing

Not to be missed. Heirloom seeds are disappearing from the world, in face of hybridization and GM seeds.

The challenge of a movie about seeds is

The challenge of a movie about seeds is probably its very subject: scarcely cinematic stuff. Yet Jon Betz and Taggart Siegel achieve what might seem an unlikely goal: a fast paced, dramatic narration. The directors rest on some animation to pose a few of their arguments in dynamic, accessible fashion. But, most of all, they bank on a diverse group of seed daredevils, advocates and warriors. Their stories and deeds convincingly show that the future of the web of life that sustains our planet is shaped not only in the laboratories of large corporations but by passionate amateurs, brave women farming marginal lands, and local communities determined to protect food and health. Diversity of genetic material is key to ensure resilience; and the movie reflects this diversity in a variety of narratives behind a common theme. Farms, homesteads, indigenous people's lands, peasant households and local governments in Asia, Europe and the Americas articulate biodiversity across a prism of experiences and motivations. Will this movie get the audience it deserves? The directors are obviously aware of the challenge. If nature conservation can probably reach large audiences when it focuses on endangered mammals of high visibility, the disappearance of most cauliflower species may not, even if equally harmful.

Visually and contextually well observed documentary. I liked

Visually and contextually well observed documentary. I liked the earlier part. It starts from the extinctive seeds and plans to mass cultivation and GMO.
