The first film in RPI’s Spring 2013 Sustainability Film Series is Sunday, February 24, 2013, 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM, DCC 318.

Bitter Seeds documents the epidemic of suicides amongst India’s cotton farmers, deeply in debt after switching to genetically modified seeds.

Sociologist Abby Kinchy, author of Seeds, Science, and Struggle The Global Politics of Transgenic Crops, will take questions and lead discussion following the film.
