Genetically Modified Food: Panacea or Poison
Genetically modified food promises hardier crops for a world with rising food demand, but the film asks whether anyone has actually proven it safe. It lays out the central complaint from critics: no long-term human safety studies exist, and the burden of proof sits with the companies selling the technology rather than with the public eating it. Interviews and expert commentary split along familiar lines, with some scientists arguing GMOs are a tool against global hunger and others warning about risks that have never been properly tested. The film also shows the public side of the fight, footage of protests against genetically modified crops that have spread internationally, framing the debate as much about trust and transparency as about biochemistry. It does not resolve the argument, instead leaving the viewer with the same open question the scientific community is still fighting over.
