The Portland EcoFilm Festival presents: GMO OMG
- 7:30pm Thursday, June 26, 2014
A film exploring the systematic corporate takeover and potential loss of humanity’s most precious and ancient inheritance: seeds. How do GMOs affect our children, the health of our planet and our freedom of choice? Is it even possible to reject the food system currently in place, or have we lost something we can’t get back?
Post-film panel/Q & A with Scott Bates, head of Oregon Right to Know (the current ballot initiative to require labeling of GMO foods sold in Oregon) and farmers who helped win bans on growing GMO crops in Jackson and Josephine counties.
