The film centres on its maker, Aube Giroux, who resides in Nova Scotia, Canada. ....
As the GMO issue became prominent, Aube became more interested in the subject. It took her 10 years to complete the film....
...various people are interviewed as the story unfolds. We are told about the subverting of regulatory agencies in the US when GMOs first appeared on the scene in the early 1990s: the Food and Drug Administration ignored the warnings of its own scientists, while Monsanto flexed its political muscle to compromise the agency by manoeuvring its own people into positions of influence.
...it was meant to be a film about food. But she notes that it gradually became a film about democracy: who gets to decide our food policies; is it the people we elect to represent us, or is it corporations and their heavily financed lobbyists?
Aube is a skilful filmmaker and storyteller. She draws the viewer into her life and introduces us to some inspiring characters... By interweaving personal lives with broader political issues, Modified becomes a compelling documentary. On one level, it’s deeply personal. On another, it is deeply disturbing given what corporations are doing to food without our consent – and often – without our knowledge.
