Description
Amidst a brutally polarized debate marked by passion, suspicion and confusion, FOOD EVOLUTION, by Academy Award®-nominated director Scott Hamilton Kennedy, explores the controversy surrounding GMOs and food. Traveling from Hawaiian papaya groves, to banana farms in Uganda to the cornfields of Iowa, the film, narrated by esteemed science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson, wrestles with the emotions and the science driving one of the most heated arguments of our time.
Join the NC Biotechnology Center and others for the North Carolina film premiere of Food Evolution, preceded by a reception and followed by Q&A with the film's director, world renowned scientist, Kevin Folta and a local farmer and chef to round out the many perspectives of questions addressed in the film.
