The documentary RAISING RESISTENCE directed by Bettina Borgfeld and David Bernet is about the fight of the campesinos, the small farmers of Paraguay, against the escalating aggressively expanding production of genetic soy in the country. On the basis of this conflict it describes the global impact that the use of most modern genetic enginee- ring in the 21st century has on people and on nature.
A parable about the suppression of life, about the diversity of plants and cultures, and about how resistance arises both in people and in nature.
