Film Description

In new global trade agreements like the WTO, patents and other intellectual property rights are expanding what corporations can own and control—from things like machines to knowledge and even living creatures. What does this mean for the environment, our food supply, and human rights?

With beautiful footage from the headwaters of the Amazon, farms in Washington, Iowa, India, and Peru, plus glimpses of the Seattle WTO protests, NOT FOR SALE brings this global issue into focus. Vandana Shiva, Anuradha Mittal of Food First, and Debra Harry of the Indigenous Peoples Council on Biocolonialism illuminate the risks of allowing patents on life over preserving a world where life is not a commodity. Moving Images also produced GENE BLUES and RISKY BUSINESS: BIOTECHNOLOGY AND AGRICULTURE.
