The World According to Monsanto is an in-depth Documentary that looks at the domination of the agricultural industry from one of the world’s most insidious and powerful companies.We are pleased to bring you the full documentary in 10 parts.
This is one of the most powerful, must see films for anyone interested in the behind the scenes world of the food industry, and how just one world dominating corporation holds the keys and patents to much of the worlds food supply.
Monsanto, which started out as one of the planets largest chemical companies is also responsible for such chemical compounds as Agent Orange, Bovine Growth Hormone, PCBs and genetically-engineered crops.

It looks like the video has been removed. It’s too bad I was really hoping to watch it. I have recently started growing my own vegetable and herbs, and not only is it fun, but they taste much better than the ones you can get at the stores.

Thank you Colin. It looks like my link was broken. Thanks for the heads up.
I found the segment in the monsanto documentary with jonathan matthews of GM watch(UK)especially compelling.Imagine these companies using fake people with fake names using fake dialogue between one another on the net to discredit critics of biotech.Absolutely shameless.
It seems to me that there is a straw man argument being set up that the alternative to GMO is Organic. That is not the case. Traditional farming with pesticides continues to be a viable option to roundup ready crops.
Another issue is the personification of a Corporation. This is silly on so many levels. The individuals making these criminal decisions need to be prosecuted and the individuals being harmed need to take precedence over a the legal fiction that a corporation is a human being. A corporation is not even the representation of a human being like a community, a country or even a church.
If a corporation is found guilty of a crime against a person it should be dis-incorporated and it’s officers should be charged not just civilly but criminally,
I am with the University of Houston-Clear Lake. I manage a film program. I am interested in screening “The World According to Monsanto.” Do you know who has the copyright?
I’m sorry Sonia, I do not.
Hi, Sonia,
I think European TV Channel Arte has shot the documentary and has the right for it. But I’m not surre.

Be very careful about this untruthful propaganda paid for by DuPont, Monsanto’s competitor.
Untruthful propaganda!! Maybe randy is just another Monsanto employee… Please, just watch the documentary and decide by yourselves.
The movie about Monsanto is excellent! I saw it on the Sundance Channel, I believe. Also, I highly recomend th movie “Food, Inc.”. You will never think of a grocery store in the same way again, and forget about all the fast food chains.
Really??? I sure don’t remember that. It wouldn’t hurt to say it again, though.
To Randy,
I have recently started trying to educate myself and look at both sides of this argument. I have watched the documentary. Will you please clarify what is untruthful. Thanks!
To Katie,
He cannot clarify anything, as he is just another Monsanto employee…
Cant clarify truth…
Monsanto has their reply posted on the website. http://www.monsanto.com/foodinc/. Just to let you know if you are interested in both sides. Personally, I think these guys are scum.
Thank you Ian! Going to take a look right now.
Ian, it appears from what I read in the court documents posted on the Monsanto response, the farmer did only that which he had practiced for decades – to reuse seeds from his own fields for future crops. I won’t speculate as to whether he actually knew he was using GMO tainted seeds. I am sure he would be content if his neighbors never used the corrupted seed that would eventually pollute his fields. I for one will surely start looking at local farmers markets and maybe even start my own garden.
Monsanto is definitely a company that needs to be stopped.
