Scientists Under Attack - Genetic engineering in the magnetic field of money

Directing: Bertram Verhaag

Synopsis

In the early 90s the genetically modified plants were introduced to the market, which for some is the equivalent of an agricultural revolution that will solve all the world’s food problems. Others see these plants as an irrevocable destruction of bio-diversity on this planet that needs to be fiercely combated. Árpád Pusztai and Ignacio Chapela are distinguished scientists and their careers are in ruins. They choose to look at the phenomenon of genetic engineering, but now they are suffering the fate of those who criticise the powerful vested interests that now dominate big business and scientific research. Statements made by scientists themselves prove that 95% of the research in the area of genetic engineering is paid by the industry.
