About:

Few things on Earth are as miraculous and vital as seeds, worshiped and treasured since the dawn of humankind. This film follows passionate seed keepers protecting our 12,000 year-old food legacy. In the last century, 94% of our seed varieties have disappeared. As biotech chemical companies control the majority of our seeds, farmers, scientists, lawyers, and indigenous seed keepers fight a David and Goliath battle to defend the future of our food. Winner of 14 major awards, "SEED" has been called "a superb documentary...visually stunning...a model of scientific insight, story-telling, and cinematic panache." One reviewer describes the movie as "a call to arms about the need for seed diversity. It takes audiences on a gorgeously filmed and creatively animated adventure seen through the eyes of a colorful cast of characters.

Following the screening, experts in their fields will lead discussions.
