'The Slow Poisoning of India'
is a short 25 minute documentary about how the use of pesticides created both a health and economic crisis for India's farming villages. It also shows how turning to bio pesticides has helped them turn over the degradation of their crops. I didn't realize that the debt which drove hundreds of farmers to commit suicide was a direct cause of pesticide use. The documentary is short, informative and produced in India:
