It's 7 am: do you know where your toast came from? Do we need to know? This documentary says yes, because those seeds that became the toast you ate this morning are being hijacked - right into a looming world food security catastrophe. While our industrial system of agriculture is providing abundance and variety today, this documentary warns us that it's an unsustainable system that will not be able to nourish and provide for us in the future. It's a system that literally runs on oil, from fertilizers and pesticides, to the trucks and planes that transport food. And the source of our food - seeds - is being hijacked by a handful of corporations from the farmers who have for millennia, grown and saved them. The film looks at the increasingly fragile base of our North American industrial food system in order to bring all of us consumers of food to a better understanding of just what's at stake with our daily bread. It asks us to question the wisdom of a system precariously based on oil and corporate seeds while we're at the same time witnessing the impact of climate change.
