La guerre des graines by Clément Montfort and Stenka Quillet
Fighting for food independence
Are seeds a commodity or a vital resource to be shared for the benefit of Humanity like the water we drink or the air we breathe ? This film travels from India to France, and even to the polar circle, to unveil a silent and unknown war whose outcome is critical for all of us, that of our food independence.
Followed by a conference debate with the filmmaker
The director, Clément Montfort went to meet all the actors of this “war”, from environmental activists (Vandana Shiva) to corporations (Monsanto) or European politicians. He will conduct a conferance-debate on the matter.
