Open Sesame: The Story of Seeds

Open Sesame: The Story of Seeds is a timely and emotionally moving film that illuminates what is at stake and what can be done to protect the source of nearly all our food: Seeds. These provide the basis for everything from fabric, to food to fuels. They 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, following the challenges and triumphs of some of their most tireless stewards and advocates. ©2015. Running time is 81 minutes.
