Few things on Earth are as miraculous and vital as seeds. Worshipped and
treasured since the dawn of humankind. Seed: The Untold Story follows passionate seed
keepers protecting our 12,000-year-old food legacy. In the last century, 94% of
our seed varieties have disappeared. As biotech chemical companies control the
majority of our seeds, farmers, scientists, lawyers, and indigenous seed
keepers fight a David and Goliath battle to defend the future of our food and
rekindle a lost connection to our most treasured resource. (2016, 98 mins)
