David V Monsanto

Synopsis
One farmer’s battle with Monsanto who pollute his crops with G.M. seeds and then make impossible demands. Imagine that a storm blows across your farm and that genetically-manipulated seeds are now in your crops. A multi-national corporation pays you a visit, and demands that you surrender your crops - and then sues you for $200, 000 for the illegal use of patented, GM seeds. In this definitive David and Goliath battle, one farmer stands up against a massive multinational, and its right to claim ownership to a living organism.
