BioHacking: people are creating new life in their garages. Should we be worried? Local example: videoof Biocurious.org
Video
Fed up! : genetic engineering, industrial agriculture, and sustainable alternatives Using archival footage interspersed with interviews with farmers, scientists, government officials and activists, this video presents an overview of our food production system and explores the unintentional effects of pesticides, the resistance of biotechnology companies to food labeling and the links between government officials and major biotechnology and chemical companies. It answers many questions regarding genetic engineering, the Green Revolution, genetic pollution and modern pesticides. McHenry VT9048 excerpt
Paul Root Wolpe examines the ethical implications of new science -- genetic modification, neuroscience and other breakthroughs that stretch our current philosophy to the breaking point. TEDtalk 3/11
Transforming Food [videorecording] : a global look at genetic modification / a BBC production ; produced & directed by Michael Lachmann Hamilton, NJ. : Films for the Humanities & Sciences, c2009 McHenry DVD7434 excerpt
Craig Venter and team make a historic announcement: they've created the first fully functioning, reproducing cell controlled by synthetic DNA. He explains how they did it and why the achievement marks the beginning of a new era for science. TEDtalk video
The World According to Monsanto "directed by independent filmmaker Marie-Monique Robin, paints a grim picture of a company with a long track record of environmental crimes and health scandals."
Food Inc (i believe) deals with GMO's. Interview with director (video). Reading list

What is genomics? How will it affect our lives? In this intriguing primer on the genomics revolution, entrepreneur Barry Schuler says we can at least expect healthier, tastier food. He suggests we start with the pinot noir grape, to build better wines.
Juan Enriquez challenges our definition of bioenergy. Oil, coal, gas and other hydrocarbons are not chemical but biological products, based on plant matter -- and thus, growable. Our whole approach to fuel, he argues, needs to change. TEDTalk video.
The World According to Monsanto
The Future of Food c2004 Film & Music DVD2936 (88 min.) In-depth investigation into unlabeled genetically-modified foods which have become increasingly prevalent in grocery stores. Unravels the complex web of market and political forces that are changing the nature of what we eat.
Jonathan Drori encourages us to save biodiversity -- one seed at a time. Reminding us that plants support human life, he shares the vision of the Millennium Seed Bank, which has stored over 3 billion seeds to date from dwindling yet essential plant species.TEDTalk video.

Author of Seeds of Deception and Genetic Roulette, Jeffrey M. Smith is a widely popular spokesperson on the documented health risks of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and how biotech companies rig research, gag critics, hijack regulators, and spin fantastic unfulfilled promises. His Institute for Responsible Technology's Campaign for Healthier Eating in America is designed to achieve the tipping point of consumer rejection of GMOs to force them out of the food supply. The Campaign encourages public and private showings of the Monsanto film and offers support material at link. He lives in Fairfield, Iowa. His blog.
