Frankenfood?

Food Evolution, a documentary by Academy Award-nominated director Scott Hamilton Kennedy ’87, will have its world premiere at DOC NYC on November 12 at SVA Theatre in New York City. 

Narrated by acclaimed science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson, Food Evolution is set amid a brutally polarized debate marked by fear, distrust and confusion: the controversy surrounding GMOs and food. Traveling from Hawaiian papaya groves to banana farms in Uganda to the cornfields of Iowa, the 92-minute documentary wrestles with the emotions and the evidence driving one of the most heated arguments of our time. 

Enlisting experts and icons of the struggle such as Mark Lynas, Alison Van Eenennaam, Jeffrey Smith, Andrew Kimbrell, Vandana Shiva, Robert Fraley, Marion Nestle and Bill Nye, as well as farmers and scientists from around the world, this documentary separates the hype from the science to unravel the debate around food.
