Indian documentary, buy DVD, watch, rent - Amrit Beeja  



With insightful interviews and rare footage from India's agricultural industry, this keenly observed film depicts Indian women's zealous struggle to maintain traditional farming practices. Examining the politics of seed production as exemplar of the conflict between ancient and modern concepts of land use, AMRIT BEEJA compares practices of women who consider seeds sacred with multinational companies' use of sterilized hybrids. Combining concepts from environmental leader Vandana Shiva and testimonies of women defying the spread of technologically-based cultivation, this evocative, political analysis celebrates the scientific basis of women's native practices, while exploring the changing meanings of healthy land use.
