Synopsis
This is the story of a citizen's anger, until then almost unheard, and a struggle against an ecocide, or crime against the environment, committed with complete impunity by the leading GMO company. In October 2016, in The Hague, victims and experts testify - a first - before the International Monsanto Tribunal, during an enlightening symbolic trial against Roundup, the most sold herbicide in the world, and its highly toxic active ingredient, glyphosate. That year, about 800,000 tons of this "killer" or its generics were dumped on the planet. While the multinational refused to appear, the victims recounted in court the consequences of its spraying: birth defects in children, cancers, respiratory or kidney diseases, and environmental destruction. Illuminated by scientists, this damning indictment reveals the scale of this health scandal.
