On June 5, Cinema Libre Studio released an informational film on DVD and VOD entitled Genetically Modified Children. 

The 55-minute documentary discusses the possibility of Monsanto chemicals permanently altering the genes of children. Low-income tobacco farmers face skyrocketing cancer rates with more devastating repercussions affecting their children including severe physical deformities and mental disabilities. Choosing between poverty or poison, Latin American growers have no choice but to use harmful chemicals such as the herbicide glyphosate and Bayer’s insecticide Confidor if they want to certify and sell their crops to big tobacco.  As patent and regulatory laws continue to favor the profits of Monsanto and chemical companies, the tobacco makes its way into the hands and mouths of consumers worldwide in Philip Morris products, while the poisons used to harvest the crops contaminate the farmers’ blood and are modifying the human genome, creating genetically modified children. 

The film is available for purchase on Amazon and is available for streaming on Vimeo and Amazon digital. 

Cost: $19.95. For more information, visit GMChildren.com.
