Marie-Monique Robin, author of the tome Escadrons de la Mort, L'Ecole Française, helms the muckraking documentary The World According to Monsanto. The titular corporation, as Robin reminds her audience, represents one of the most controversial corporations in the United States: it manufactures the seed technology for 90% of all the genetically-engineered crops on the planet, and thus arguably poses a greater environmental threat to mankind than any other single company. With World, Robin plumbs through the company's checkered history and recounts its long string of alleged health scandals and environmental abuses.
