Bitter Seeds 2011, the 3rd in a trilogy by Teddy Bear Films, (the 2nd, China Blue 2008, investigated sweatshop conditions in the clothes we buy) is an emotionally powerful documentary that sheds light on the crisis in India created by Monsanto’s genetically engineered cotton, their false promises and ruthless monopolization. The result was that ¼ million farmers over a sixteen-year period committed suicide (approximately 1 every 30 minutes), most by drinking pesticide. This film, which has won multiple awards, was shown in the Human Rights Watch Film Festival in June, 2012, and is available on DVD.
