GMO Free Verde Valley is happy to offer this free viewing of Silent Forest in conjunction with our sponsor, 7 Centers Yoga Art who will host the event at their center. Narrated by renowned geneticist and host of PBS The Nature of Things David Suzuki, the film explores the unknown and possibly disastrous consequences of improperly tested GE methods. From Create Space synopsis: This award winning documentary film explores the growing global threat of genetically engineered trees to our environment and to human health. Many scientists and activists are interviewed in the film and it includes an interview with Percy Schmeiser, who lost the rights to his own crops to Monsanto, when Monsanto seeds contaminated his fields. As Schmeiser says in the film: It doesnt matter how it gets there, destroying your crop. All of your crop, becomes Monsantos ownership and they can lay a lawsuit on top of it against you. Even if the contamination rate is 1%, all your other 99% of your crop goes to Monsanto. And thats what startled the world, how farmers can lose their rights overnight, an organic farmer can lose his seeds and his rights overnight, and get subject to a lawsuit. Please join us at 7 Centers Yoga Arts for this important film and discussion of the issues surrounding GMOs in our world today. We will have a wide selection of books, dvds and other literature for you on hand, as well as the GMO Labeling Initiative petition for you to sign to put labeling on the 2014 Arizona ballot. This is a free event. All donations are welcome. https://createspace/Store/Trailer.jsp?id=207574
