Poison on the Platter
"Simmering disaster" is what renowned activist Mahesh Bhatt calls genetically modified foods. Though genetically modified foods have caused countless problems in lab tests, multinational corporations are pushing them into the stores and onto the plates of people across the world, and India's staple foods are being manipulated without the knowledge of the people.

Show AllPeople wanting a longer clip of the documentary film and do a Web search and will find two or more clips at Google Videos, one clip a little over thirty minutes, the other a little over 29 minutes. There are also similar-length clips at other websites.
The one that's 30:21 is the following.

This perhaps is the full documentary, too; if what the following copy indicates truly is "Full Length", for it's around 30 minutes, as well, and "Full Length" is stated along with the title.

The following page says it's for the full-length copy and 29:14, so 30:21 surely is full with maybe a few additional words, or empty film (?).

The following one is 30:19 and is a Vimeo copy.

Take your pick. I just wanted to try to find the website for the documentary in order to find out what the total, full length is, but I guess when people re-post copies and say "full length", then it is full length.
The following page has a related article, "GM foods ‘poison on the platter’
Docs, NGOs join hands against ill-effects of genetically modified food", by Anshu Seth,
Tribune News Service, Ludhiana, February 16, 2009. It's short enough, but briefly says what "the Doctors for Food and Bio-safety in Punjab" say, and that they, and Greenpeace, are promoting the documentary.
