THE BUSINESS WITH GENES

”LIFE RUNNING OUT OF CONTROL” is an alarming film, yet one that is well worth seeing. For it teaches us that consumers need to be very concerned about the future, when politicians and corporations are only able to think short-term.

------------------------------------------

THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MADE BY MICHAEL MOORE:

“Life Running out of Control“
Verhaag, whose political films are known for their unequivocal stance... wants to turn the ”David” of disoriented consumers into a ”Goliath” of furious customers who can influence the products offered by their buying patterns

------------------------------------------

THE SWEET HUMMING OF THE LABORATORIES

Bollywood can’t compare…
…The story from India that Bertram Verhaag and Gabriele Kröber narrate in their film ”LIFE RUNNING OUT OF CONTROL” is just the first of many scary tales about gene technology. The message is perfectly clear: gene technology differs from all other technologies in an elementary way. For at least nuclear power, DDT and Contergan – all formerly hailed as miracles of progress – do not reproduce. But once genetically modified plants and animals start affecting nature, there is no return.

GENE FOOD UND DESIGNERBABIES

The impact of genetic technology on our lives is increasing and we are often not aware of it. Is gene technology an opportunity or a risky interference with out lives? For Bertram Verhaag the answer is clear: this is a gigantic human experiment without a control group.

A FILM THAT SETS THINGS STRAIGHT. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Bertram Verhaag and Gabriele Kröber were aiming for a lucky strike and – to come right to the point – they have succeeded. Their new documentary film ”LIFE RUNNING OUT OF CONTROL” criticizes the new development in gene technology…
…Food safety, labelling of genetically modified foods, the development of sterile seeds, patenting of genes, genome research and the gene bank in Iceland – hardly any topic is left out in the context of these four famous letters.

------------------------------------------

IT‘S A WAKE-UP CALL...

In his meticulously researched, excellently photographed and complexly assembled documentary film the director succeeds in covering a lot of ground, from the genetic manipulation of our food (the consequences to our health remain unknown to this day) to the manipulation of the human genome. It is a wake-up call to stop this fatal development.

------------------------------------------

...WAS CONSIDERED TO BE THE BEST FILM AMONG ALL PARTICIPANTS AND IN ALL CATEGORIES.

Due to the in-depth coverage and expertness with which the film treats one of the most complex and decisive topics concerning the human species and the environment nowadays – genetic manipulation and the way knowledge regarding life and the resulting consequences and dangers from this knowledge are dealt with, ”LIFE RUNNING OUT OF CONTROL” receives the ”GOLDEN TROPHY OF THE GREAT ENVIRONMENT AWARD”. It was considered to be the best film among all participants and in all categories.
