Watch this: Here’s our Promo Reel!
What a busy few months it has been. We received a generous grant to edit
THE SEEDS OF VANDANA SHIVA from the
Logan Foundation and our wonderful editors are hard at work. We’ve also been working on the script and researching music, archival footage and Indian animation and graphics.
And we’ve been networking! From scientists, to farmers, to activists, to chefs, we’ve connected with many brilliant people working towards just and ecological food systems for all.
These individuals and the organizations they represent need all the messaging help they can get. Why? Because the strategic centerpiece of industry public relations is that large scale, chemically dependent agriculture is the only way to feed an increasingly crowded and hungry world. The truth is that appropriately scaled organic food systems produce superior nutrition and equivalent yields; they also do not deplete soil, pollute air, overuse water, destroy birds, bees and butterflies or mess with our health!
The problem is that government-supported Big Ag and Big Food have limitless public relations resources, putting agro-ecologists at a disadvantage. This is especially true in the developing world where there is relentless marketing of GMOs and widespread occurrence of corporate land grabs.
For this reason
THE SEEDS OF VANDANA SHIVA will be much more than a documentary film; it’s also a strategy to support movement building. We have committed to sharing Vandana’s inspiring life story with organizations around the world–both big and small–to support their education, outreach and fundraising efforts. We need to collectively address agro-industry’s dishonest narrative with an alternative that offers solutions and hope.
We’ve forged over fifty alliances already, including with Seed Freedom, African Biodiversity Network, Center for Food Safety, Edible Communities, Global GMO Free Coalition, The Greenhorns, Rodale Institute, Soil not Oil Coalition and Seed Savers Exchange. With our newly minted promotional reel, we’ll be reaching out to a list of more than 150 additional organizations across the globe.
Speaking of the promotional reel, here it is!
