The Seeds of Vandana Shiva

8.8 IMDB

How did the willful daughter of a Himalayan forest guard become Monsanto’s worst nightmare? The Seeds of Vandana Shiva tells the remarkable life story of Gandhian eco-activist Dr. Vandana Shiva, how she stood up to the corporate Goliaths of industrial agriculture, rose to prominence in the food justice movement, and inspired an international crusade for change.

What she says is educational, scientific and sensible, and of course, controversial. She is fighting big companies, such as Monsanto, and hoping to protect the small individual farmer, whom she explains, is truly the most free and unencumbered entrepreneur in the world. A farmer can take a little bit of soil, some water and some seed, and create his own food and be independent of anyone else or any other big company. And people are threatened by that.

If you don’t know her name, you should.  WEBSITE MORE INFO
