Feature-length documentary on genetically modified foods. Since 1996, genetically modified plants (GMOs) have invaded our fields and plates without warning and, above all, without regard for their future effects on health, the environment and democracy. Have we become the guinea pigs of multinationals playing Russian roulette with the result of millions of years of evolution? What are the real side effects of these genetically modified or transgenic foods? Is there a relationship between allergies and transgenic soy? With Main basse sur les genes , Karl Parent and Louise Vandelac take an informed look at this explosive situation. While several countries in Europe and Asia are already requiring the labeling of transgenic products, North America is slow to react. A universal wealth that has no price, can life be left at the mercy of private interests?
