Join us to watch and discuss the documentary, SEED: THE UNTOLD STORY. This film "follows passionate seed-keepers as they rekindle and revive a culture connected to seeds." - Kanopy
"Few things on Earth are as miraculous and vital as seeds -- worshipped and treasured since the dawn of humankind." - Rotten Tomatoes
Kanopy Description:
"In the last century, 94% of our seed varieties have disappeared. A cadre of 10 agrichemical companies, including Syngenta, Bayer, and Monsanto, controls over two-thirds of the global seed market, reaping unprecedented profits.
SEED: THE UNTOLD STORY follows passionate seed-keepers protecting our 12,000 year-old food legacy. These farmers, scientists, lawyers and indigenous people are fighting a David and Goliath battle to defend the future of our food. In a harrowing and heartening story, these heroes rekindle a lost connection to our most treasured resource and revive a culture connected to seeds.
Winner of 15 international film festival awards, including the Environmental Award at Sheffield Doc/Fest."
