Director Jeremy takes his children along and lets us see the controversy over GM foods, and how seed patent rights are controlled by a very small number of multinational agribusiness companies without the general public even knowing! Following GM foods upward to trace their origins, searching for the notorious Monsanto Company, interviewing scientists about the risks of GM foods to living things, and looking at how governments of various countries formulate regulations and respond to GM foods. This is a globalised food roots-seeking journey that lifts the veil on GM foods in everyday eating!
