Reviews

What Scott Hamilton Kennedy captures in his scrupulous, optimistic documentary Food Evolution is the new reality for American scientists: the challenge of reaching a public bombarded by conspiracy theories and fearmongering.

Serena Donadoni, Village Voice

A polished and provocative call for activists to be as scientifically minded as they believe they are.

John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter

With a soft tone, respectful to opponents but insistent on the data, "Food Evolution" posits an inconvenient truth for organic boosters to swallow: In a world desperate for safe, sustainable food, G.M.O.s may well be a force for good.

Daniel M. Gold, New York Times
