Synopsis

Two thirty-something city boys from Amsterdam get into an argument about GMOs. Karsten is a relative noob when it comes to GMOs, but he reads that they are bad for your health and that they are used by big agrochemical companies to monopolise the food chain. Hidde, a scientist and science journalist, tries to explain that the basic assumption of Karsten is incorrect and that genetic modification can be used both in a sustainable way and to alleviate hunger and poverty.They travel to Bangladesh where genetically modified crops are used and developed outside the realm of monocultures and big farms, to investigate what’s what.
