Coinciding with Perth Museum's winter exhibition, Waters Rising, the AK Bell Library Environmental Film Club will be showing a series of relevant movies and documentaries about the current state of our environment.

From Seed and Food production to more controversial topics like GMOs and fossil fuel alternatives, the film club will be opening discussions about what can be done, what needs to be done and by whom.

The screening for February will be Food Evolution by Academy Award-nominated director Scott Hamilton Kennedy, exploring the controversy surrounding GMOs and food. Travelling from Hawaiian papaya groves to banana farms in Uganda to the cornfields of Iowa, the film, narrated by esteemed science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson, wrestles with the emotions and the science driving one of the most heated arguments of our time. In the GMO debate, both pro and anti-camps claim science is on their side.

Who’s right? Food Evolution shows how easily misinformation, confusion and fear can overwhelm objective analysis. How do we ensure that our food supply is safe, and that everyone has enough to eat? How do we feed the world while also protecting the planet? Has genetic engineering increased or decreased pesticide use? Are GMO foods bad for your health? And, most importantly, what data, evidence and sources are we using to approach these important questions?
