Green Film: The World According to Monsanto

The World According to Monsanto (2008)    ***/5

Directed by Marie-Monique Robin

This only has 3 stars because the information actually needs to be heard.  Unfortunately, the documentary itself is of poor quality. but the contents of which is a scary, scary, scary, scary story about the state of our agricultural nightmare.  In today's United States agricultural industry most of the crop seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, patents on life, and government control belong to one, monopolistic company named, "Monsanto."

Have you ever heard of Roundup? GMO's? Do you know who has voting power in the FDA? What about the USDA? Do you know why most of our crop land only grows mono-crops such as corn and soy?  If not, you will after watching this:

Green Film - Life After People

Life After People (2009)  ***/5

History Channel Television Series

History Channel looks into the planet's recovery cycle after the hypothetical distinction of human beings.  It is an interesting scientific hypothesis on how our society (our buildings, transportation vehicles, pets, and damns) will degrade while plant and wildlife will once again prosper.  It's eerie to think that, after all this technological progress, our efforts are meaningless when it comes to the natural rebirth of the earth and its species.  Basically, if humans were to not be around to cut back vines, the vines will then take over (and eventually crumble) the structure.

Plants are powerful bitches.  And because of that, I actually went out and bought this DVD.

Green Films - Tapped

Tapped (2010)       ***/5

Directed by Stephanie Soechtig

Just like Flow, and Blue Gold, Tapped looks to reiterate the dire need for everyday citizens to know where their water comes from.  Tapped focuses more on the role that companies have in the destruction of our nation's public water sources.  We take a closer look at the myths behind bottled water, and the hidden secrets behind it.   A lot of the information, however, has been presented before in other films, television shows, etc. so it is obvious there is still a lack of action on behalf of us citizens. 

If you do not want to see another repetitive documentary on this particular subject matter there one thing you can do:

Stop    buying    bottled    water   !
