Porte Parole Productions in partnership with the UU直播 Office for听Science and Society presents听SEEDS听
Before making its way into U.S. markets, SEEDS - a dramatic re-enactment about the 7-year legal battle between Saskatchewan farmer Percy Schmeiser and one of the biggest biotech corporations, Monsanto Inc. - is making a one-night return to Montreal!
Based on court trial transcripts, interviews with Percy Schmeiser, Monsanto representatives, and with farmers, academics, lawyers and scientists from all across Canada, Seeds leads us through a suspenseful labyrinth of legal conflicts around patent rights, scientific showdowns about GM food, and property clashes between farmers and the biotechnology industry. The answer to Schmeiser鈥檚 鈥淲ho owns Life?鈥� question will determine the future of our food system.
On February 29听join听Porte Parole Productions and听the UU直播 Office for Science and Society for a presentation of听SEEDS, followed by a Q&A after the show with听playwright Annabel听Soutar, actor Eric Peterson,听and Dr. Joe Schwarcz.
