| GuernicaEla BittencourtBitter Seeds is one of those rare films whose storytelling economy is matched by visual eloquence. |
| User ReviewPandeep DThis is a very important film that everyone should watch. Every 30 minutes a farmer in India kills himself. Ramkrishna hasnâ(TM)t given up yet, and is fighting to keep his land. The neighborsâ(TM) daughter overcomes village traditions to become a journalist, and Ramkrishna is her first assignment. The human cost of genetically-modified agriculture is explored within a gripping character-based narrative. It was so touching I left the theater in tears. |
| User ReviewGeorge TThis is a must-see film. The subject is too imortant to ignore. |
