How did the willful daughter of a Himalayan forest guard become Monsanto’s worst nightmare? The Seeds of Vandana Shiva tells the remarkable life story of Gandhian eco-activist Dr. Vandana Shiva, how she stood up to the corporate Goliaths of industrial agriculture, rose to prominence in the food justice movement, and inspired an international crusade for change.

A Q&A follows the film with Frederique Van der Wal (Film’s Executive Producer), Bram Gunther (former Chief of Forestry, Horticulture, and Natural Resource for NYC Parks, co-founder and board member of the Natural Areas Conservancy, board member of Friends of Hilltop Hanover Farm, and co-founder of Dirt Collective), Anne Mayhew (Owner and baker, LMNOP); moderated by Vanessa Smith

Presented in partnership with Bedford 2030.
