GMO WTF - The Documentary!
Donation protected
My name is Robert Schooler.
I wrote an article that quickly went viral, detailing my experiences of pro-GMO corporate propaganda at Cornell University, my school. As it turned out, my professors seemed to be communicating (via email) with Monsanto during this period. This type of behavior is rather common in today's academia.
So, I decided to do something about it. During the fall semester of 2016, I hosted an independent, evidence-based lecture series, right on campus, directly challenging the propaganda campaign launched by my own university just years before. Several prominent experts contributed, including two legendary ladies, Frances Moore Lappe and Vandana Shiva! The whole thing, to be honest, was a total blast, and I've made some lifetime friends in the process! I can't express enough of my deep gratitude for all those that contributed, and made this goal a reality :)
It is now time to share my story with the world, in documentary format. This has been my #1 intention from the beginning, and I am extremely excited to start this journey! My friends, colleagues and I have quite a bit to say on the topics of:
-GMO (and industrial) agriculture
-Monsanto (and pals)
-the current state of our universities (like Cornell)
-academic freedom & scientific integrity
-the solution(s) to this sad, sad state of affairs
Several friends, new and old, will be contributing their impeccable minds and passionate souls to this project. I've also been blessed to make some great contacts in this field, who will be guiding me through this process. However, I would ideally like to keep this project crowdfundend, donation-based, by the people, for the people. I'd love to keep this documentary free to view for students and members of academia.
This is, at its heart, and activist project inspired by today's food movement. I've always wanted to contribute something to this awakening and revolution: this is it.
But I need your support! The faster I can raise funds, the better, more elaborate, professional, & fantastic it will be. Oh, and this thing is intended to be absolutely hilarious, by the way ... just in case the title didn't clue you in.
Suggested donation is $10 ... however, any contribution will result in a viewing of this film, even one dollar. I'd rather have 1,000,000 people see this film than 10,000.
If you donate $100 or more, your name will go in the credits (if so desired). A $1000 dollar contribution will result in co-producer credits (if so desired).
Thanks so much for all the donations thus far! I haven't forgotten about you ... I had to take some personal time after the passing of my father, as described in the trailer.GMOWTF
Please, even if you can't contribute financially (which is cool), SHARE this page and my other work far and wide, if you want to see this come to LIGHT! Email listserves, facebook shares, other social media, all add up, and increase the chances of this going viral.
Thanks in advance everyone, and looking forward to delivering an incredible film!
In Love
