Open Sesame: The Story of Seeds - Deluxe Version

Open Sesame: The Story of Seeds - Deluxe Version

One of the world's most precious resources is at risk. This timely and emotionally moving film illuminates what is at stake and what can be done to protect the source of nearly all of our food: SEEDS.

Seeds provide the basis for everything from food, to fabric to fuels. Seeds are as essential to life as the air we breathe or water we drink...but given far less attention. Over the past one hundred years seeds have shifted from being common heritage to sovereign property.

This film tells the story of seeds by following the challenges and triumphs of some of their most tireless stewards and advocates.

Special features include: extended interview with Vandana Shiva, interview with Sean Kaminsky, Bill McDorman, Isaura Andaluz, Tomato Seed Saving 101 and more!

“Seeds are profound, holy, beautiful, and generous. Meet the seeds and the inspired heroes who love and protect them in this marvelous film journey.” - Jeffrey M. Smith, Executive Director, Institute for Responsible Technology
