Sierra Club Movie Night "David Versus Monsanto" - Dallas

Movie night! We will furnish popcorn and drinks. If you want, bring you own favorite snacks.


Imagine that a storm blows across your garden and that now, without your knowledge or
consent, genetically modified seeds are in your vegetable patch which you have nourished for
many years. A few days later, a multi-national corporation demands that you surrender your
vegetables -- and files a criminal complaint against you, resulting in a large fine for the illegal
use of genetically modified seeds. And the court rules in favor of the corporation!


David Versus Monsanto is a movie that tells how Monsanto terrorized innocent family
farmers, and how one farmer stood up to Monsanto. It raises the question: What responsibility
do biotech companies have to farmers whose fields they contaminate with genetically modified
organisms (GMOs)?

Everyone is welcome. You don't have to be a Sierra Club member.
