The Seeds of Vandana Shiva

Her epic fight to protect community ownership of food, forests, and small scale farms

Vandana Shiva is a modern-day revolutionary, and for forty years has been fighting a heroic battle on behalf of humanity and the ecologically-besieged natural systems that support us. But she is opposed by powerful multinational corporations invested in continuing their degenerative but lucrative agricultural practices. By profiling one of the greatest activists of modern times, this film looks at the epic struggle over who controls the world’s food systems, and asks the question, who will prevail? 

The Seeds of Vandana Shiva, a feature-length documentary, presents the remarkable life story of the Gandhian eco-activist and agro-ecologist, Vandana Shiva. A classic David versus Goliath tale, the film shows how Vandana, a brilliant scientist, became Monsanto’s worst nightmare and a rock star of the international organic food movement.

Many in our Western Mass. region are familiar with this activist who has many friends here and has made many speaking visits to our area.

Our discussion panelists will include local activists and one of the filmmakers of this brilliant and beautiful film.
