O Veneno Está na Mesa II (2014)

Overview

After impacting Brazil by showing the perverse consequences of the use of pesticides in O Veneno está na Mesa, director Sílvio Tendler presents the second film from a new perspective. Poison Is On The Table 2 updates and advances the approach to the current national agricultural model and its consequences for public health. The film presents agroecological experiments undertaken throughout Brazil, showing the existence of viable alternatives for the production of healthy foods, which respect nature, rural workers and consumers. With this documentary, comes the certainty that the country needs to take a stand in the face of the dilemma that presents itself: In which world do we want to live? The poisoned world of agribusiness or of freedom and agroecological diversity?
