David vs Monsanto: directed by Betram Verhaag. My Father’s Garden: produced by Abigail Wright, directed by Miranda Smith ; Born Of The Sun: Bertram Verhaag

David vs Monsanto: Imagine that a storm blows across your garden -- and that now, without your knowledge and without your consent, foreign and genetically-manipulated seeds are in your vegetable patch which you have nourished and maintained for many years. A few days later, representatives of a multi-national corporate group pay you a visit at home, demand that you surrender your vegetables and file a criminal complaint against your requesting a fine of $20,000 USD -- for the illegal use of patented and genetically-manipulated seeds. In this definitive David and Goliath battle, one farmer stands up against a massive multi-national, and their right to claim ownership to a living organism.

My Father’s Garden: An engrossing, emotionally charged documentary about the use and misuse of technology on the American farm. In less than fifty years, the face of technology on the American farm. In less than fifty years, the face of agriculture has been utterly transformed by synthetic chemicals, whose power to control the forces of nature is rivaled only by that of the atom bomb. These chemicals have also changed the farmers who have used them. This film tells the story of two such lives, different in all details, yet united by their common goal of producing good food.

Born Of The Sun: Born of Dr. Abouleish's ambitious vision, the Sekem Farm is an ecological paradise in the middle of the Egyptian desert -- both a thriving business and a close-knit community. In this oasis, nothing is lost, and a delicately balanced relationship between workers and nature is established. With predictions of the world's population rising to 9 billion of 2050, the Sekem community may well be the future of farming.
