Show @ 8:50
In Person: Micha X. Peled
The first two documentaries in Micha X. Peled’s globalization trilogy—Store Wars: When Wal-Mart Comes to Town (SFIFF 2001) and China Blue (2005)—exposed the effects of multinational corporate profiteering on workers. Bitter Seeds, the final film in the trilogy, is a vibrant investigation of the predicament of central Indian cotton farmers caught up in biotech broker Monsanto's genetically modified seed program. Peled’s latest heroine, a young farmer’s daughter, fights on the frontline of this global human and environmental crisis, driven by a desire to voice the perspective and preserve the dignity of the powerless.
