Marie-Monique Robin is a journalist which has found the new source of all truth: Google and anecdotal evidence.
She is not new to sensationalist subjects. Some of her movies revolve around Urban Legends like "Organ Snatchers" and "Le Sixième Sens, science et paranormal" which present paranormal activities in a very complaisant manner. Who doesn't like a crunchy scary story once in a while?
This movie present Monsanto as the big bad bad guy in Walt Disney style.
One of her point about the big M. is the infamous case of the Indian suicide which I find disgusting to use: this a simple appeal to emotions using somebody else suffering without any proof whatsoever. This Indian suicide story has been debunked so many times. Today about 90% of the cotton in India is indeed GMO. Reality doesn't match the horror stories of Marie-Monique.
This movie doesn't stand the test of time because it is an ideologically oriented piece that falls apart under scientific scrutiny. Just a gathering of fears mongering and loosely tied together bunch of anecdote.
