About the film:

WTO: A Threat to Humanity is an in-depth look at the history and 

current policies of the World Trade Organization.  A Threat to 

Humanity (an indigenous/non-indigenous co-production) was 

originally made for indigenous and campesino communities in 

Mexico and Central America who wanted an explanation of WTO 

and how it's policies are affecting their communities.  Among the 

issues discussed are NAFTA's impact on corn production in 

Mexico, the effects of genetically modified seeds on world 

agricultural systems, agricultural subsidies in developed countries 

and it's negative impact on food production indeveloping countries, 

intellectual property and patents on indigenous plants and 

knowledge, privatization of natural resources and south to south 

competition for cheap labour.
