How do GMOs affect our children, the health of our planet, and our freedom of choice? And perhaps the ultimate question, which Seifert tests himself: is it even possible to reject the food system currently in place, or have we lost something we can't gain back? These and other questions take Seifert on a journey from his family's table to Haiti, Paris, Norway, and the lobby of agra-giant Monsanto, from which he is unceremoniously ejected. Along the way we gain insight into a question that is of growing concern to citizens the world over: what's on your plate?MPAA rating: Not rated.DVD; NTSC, Region 1; widescreen presentation (anamorphic), 1.78:1 aspect ratio, enhanced for widescreen TVs; Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and 2.0 Stereo.

Sea of greed [sound recording] / by Cussler, Clive,author.(CARDINAL)340262; Brown, Graham,1969-author.(CARDINAL)340261; Brick, Scott,narrator.(CARDINAL)344793;
Read by Scott Brick.After an explosion in the Gulf of Mexico destroys three oil rigs trying to revive a dying field, Kurt Austin and the NUMA (National Underwater and Marine Agency) Special Projects Team are tapped by the President of the United States to find out what's gone wrong. The trail leads them to a brilliant billionaire in the alternative energy field. Her goal is the end of the oil age; her company has spent billions developing the worlds' most advanced fuel-cell systems. But is she an environmental hero or a rogue genetic engineer?

Of the land [videorecording] / by Davies, Steven(Filmmaker),film producer,director of photography,editor of moving image work.; Law, Bryan(Filmmaker),film director,film producer,editor of moving image work.;
Bonus materials: Trailer (2:30) -- Teaser (0:49) -- Canadian Organic Growers Conference (1:20:16) -- Of the land at the Phoenix Film Festival (9:03).Within the last half century, our agricultural and food industries have changed more than ever before. New technologies and scientific ingenuity have given rise to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and other man-made foods. People have begun to raise concerns about the safety of GMOs in our food supply, given their incredible dominance in a large portion of our diets. Traditional organic farmers have been under constant attack by large corporate farming interests who seek to monopolize the farming industry. This Of the Land film looks at our current food supply system as well as a variety of smaller, organic options available to consumers who want to support more sustainable and healthy farming methods.DVD, aspect ratio : 16:9 ; NTSC; stereo.Official selection, Phoenix Film Festival, 2015. Official selection, Cinema Verde Film Festival, 2015.
