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. In a harrowing and heartening story, these reluctant heroes rekindle a lost connection to our most treasured resource and revive a culture connected to seeds. SEED features Vandana Shiva, Dr. Jane Goodall, Andrew Kimbrell, Winona Laduke and Raj Patel.
