Already unlocked? for access

Enter the remarkable life story of eco-activist and agro-ecologist, Vandana Shiva, who rose from obscurity to become the most articulate voice for organic food systems. With a mastery in quantum physics, Vandana bridges her knowledge as a scientist and philosopher with her driven spirituality and deep connection to nature to show us what it takes to protect our food. Along the way, she wins nonviolent victories against the goliaths of chemical agribusiness. In the end, we see a leader of Gandhian stature, struggling over who controls the world’s food systems, and asks us, “Who will prevail?”
