"Raising Resistance" Unveiling the problem of genetically engineered crops
This film begins with a protest by the farmers of an agricultural town in Paraguay who have stopped the activities of a large agricultural corporation due to the constant irrigations of pesticides, a poison that has displaced residents and damaged the health of adults and children.
This scene of resistance is, in short, the subject of this beautifully photographed documentary that unveils the cruel side of large-scale generic engineering agriculture, focusing particularly on the cultivation of soy in Paraguay, the fourth largest exporter of soybeans in the world.
