~The Coast Magazine

MODIFIED: A Food Lover’s Journey Into GMOs

In the award-winning documentary Modified (87 minutes | Canada | 2017), the filmmaker and her mother embark on a personal and poignant investigative journey to find out why genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are not labeled on food products in the United States and Canada, despite being labeled in 64 countries around the world.

Shot over a span of ten years, the film explores the impacts of genetically engineering our food, exposing the cozy relationship between the agribusiness industry and our governments. The film is anchored in the intimate story of the filmmaker’s relationship with her mom, a gardener, seed saver, and food activist who battled cancer while the film’s production was underway. Interweaving the personal and the political, the film uses family video, animations, and mouthwatering vignettes from the filmmaker’s award-winning PBS cooking show to create a visual celebration of homegrown food and family legacy.

“My mom always used to say that with every bite we eat, we’re making a choice about the kind of world we want to live in, and the kind of agriculture we want to support.”

Aube Giroux & Her Mom In The Garden
“My mom always used to say that with every bite we eat, we’re making a choice about the kind of world we want to live in, and the kind of agriculture we want to support.”

THE BIG QUESTION

WHY AREN’T GMO’S LABELED IN CANADA & THE US?

After living in Europe where GMOs are labeled on food products, I came home feeling frustrated that GMOs aren’t clearly identified in North America. As my mom and I started to question why it became obvious that our elected representatives were not representing their constituents’ wishes since more than 80% of people want GMOs labeled.

The more we looked into it, the more it seemed that industry was calling the shots when it came to policies around GMOs. I had always imagined the film would begin in my mom’s garden where our shared love of food and cooking comes from, but after she was diagnosed with brain cancer two years into the film’s production, the film unexpectedly became more personal and intimate than I had originally envisioned. It became a tribute to my mom and to her firm belief that we all have a right to know how our food is produced.
