The island of Puerto Rico is at the center of GMO experimentation. Meanwhile, the island faces an economic and agricultural crisis, as the people can barely produce 10% of what they consume. Luckily, there is a growing sector of people interested in promoting environmentally friendly agriculture, who are likewise dedicated to the struggle of reclaiming their food sovereignty. This EMMY award winning documentary takes an in-depth look at GMO's, it reveals the current situation regarding Puerto Rico's genetic crop experimentation, lack of local agriculture and the revolutionary rise of agro-ecological farming as a means of gaining sovereignty for the oldest colony in the world: Puerto Rico.
