“The World According to Monsanto”

International — A new movie has dealt yet another severe blow to the  
credibility of US based Monsanto, one of the biggest chemical  
companies in the world and the provider of the seed technology for 90  
percent of the world’s genetically engineered (GE) crops.

The French documentary, called “The World According to Monsanto” and  
directed by independent filmmaker Marie-Monique Robin, paints a grim  
picture of a company with a long track record of environmental crimes  
and health scandals.

On March 11, 2008 a new documentary was aired on French television  
(ARTE – French-German cultural tv channel) by French journalist and  
film maker Marie-Monique Robin, The World According to Monsanto. The  
gigantic biotech corporation Monsanto is threatening to destroy the  
agricultural biodiversity which has served mankind for thousands of  
years. A documentary that Americans won’t ever see.  UNTIL NOW... the  
US version has finally hit the US market and we are screening it in  
SLO!!!
