Raising Resistance

The documentary 'Raising Resistance' by Bettina Borgfeld and David Bernet tells of the struggle of the campesinos, the small farmers of Paraguay, against the increasingly aggressive spread of genetically modified soy production in the country and uses this conflict to describe the global effects that the use of state-of-the-art genetic engineering has on humans and nature in the 21st century. A parable about the suppression of life, of people, of the diversity of plants and cultures. And about how resistance arises, both in humans and in nature.
