Film Screening & Fundraiser

Sudbury, Ontario – Screening of the Canadian documentary “Modified”.

February 5, 2025. Sudbury Indie Cinema. $20 Admission. With presentation by Fionna Tough of the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network.

Proceeds to The Roots Collective, The FoodShed Project, Sudbury Community Garden Network and CBAN.

Modified is a first-person feature documentary that questions why genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are not labeled in Canada and the US, despite being labeled in 64 countries around the world. Shot over a span of ten years, the film follows the fight to label GMOs while debunking the myth that we need GMOs to “feed the world”. The film’s story is anchored in the relationship between the filmmaker and her mother, a passionate organic gardener and food activist who died of cancer during the film’s production. The film is directed and produced by award-winning producer of “Kitchen Vignettes on PBS” and food writer Aube Giroux, executive produced by acclaimed producer Camelia Frieberg, and edited by Mike Munn, editor of the Oscar-nominated “Stories We Tell”. Modified is distributed by Blue Ice Docs and will be released in September 2017. Watch the trailer.
