From the transcript:
It was nearly ten years ago. I was asked in the beginning of the 90s, I was asked if I would make a film on the so-called (canton) which was patented in the European office and I said, “no I’m not a scientist. I don’t know anything about it, somebody else will do that.” It took 5 years that I wrote a very small article on the so-called Terminator seed. Terminator seed is a seed, which is genetically modified so that it will be good for only one season. So you bring it out, you have your yield, but you can’t use part of this yield for the next year. This opened my eyes from one second to another when I started to understand why genetic engineering is done, and especially is done in the area of seeds and (inaudible). And I said, “OK, I don’t have to be a scientist to clearly say I don’t want it. I don’t want the industry changing the spring of life to make it fertile because of their interest to get power in the market or to earn money.”
So I decided I want to start and make films to ask this question because I didn’t understand in the beginning and most of the people don’t know what it is. I know in the United States, most of the people still today don’t really know what genetic engineering is and how it is already on the market. That was one point that made me furious, that industry is trying to change in this way our fruit and vegetables and everything.
