The Green Revolution has been credited with ensuring that developing nations no longer suffer from hunger, but 25 years on this documentary asks who the principal beneficiary has been? The poor peasant? The big farmer? The multinational corporation? It shows how in India the Revolution helped to create a new serf class, and that the crop yields of the early years fell away in the wake of pesticide poisoning and short-lived miracle wheat strains.
