This one's interesting, it looks into what's going on behind the scenes with GMO Science. What we see happening with GMO Science is also occurring in many other areas of Science; Science is under attack. The documentary is especially interesting when it exposes BP's agenda with US education. Also it's fascinating how media companies are paid to spread disinformation on the Internet; creating fake doctor names on websites to effectively discredit the research of honest scientists

In the early 90s the Agro-Chemicals-Multi Monsanto introduced genetically modified plants onto the market, which is the equivalent of an agricultural revolution for some that will solve all the world’s food problems. Others view these plants as an irrevocable destruction of bio-diversity on this planet that needs to be fiercely combated.
Árpád Pusztai and Ignacio Chapela have two things in common. They are distinguished scientists and their careers are in ruins. Both scientists choose to look at the phenomenon of genetic engineering. Both made important discoveries. Both of them are suffering the fate of those who criticise the powerful vested interests that now dominate big business and scientific research.
Statements made by scientists themselves prove that 95% of the research in the area of genetic engineering is paid by the industry. Only 5% of the research is independent. The big danger for freedom of science and our democracy is evident. Can the public – we all – still trust our scientists?
