She's looking out for you and the planet

Marie-Monique Robin is an award-winning French journalist and filmmaker. She received the 1995 Albert-Londres Prize, awarded to investigative journalists in France. She is the director and producer of over thirty documentaries and investigative reports filmed in
Latin America, Africa, Europe, and Asia. She is also the author of The World According to Monsanto: Pollution, Corruption, and the Control of Our Food Supply (The New Press) and creator of the film by the same name.
Creating such crucial and ambitious projects is never easy. "I traveled a lot, to the US, Canada, Mexico, Paraguay, India, Vietnam, Europe, and met a lot of scientists, experts, whistleblowers (from the FDA, EPA, Berkeley University), lawyers, farmers, or victims of Monsanto," she explains. "I consulted thousands of declassified documents from the EPA (dioxin), FDA (GMO's), judiciary affairs (PCB), scientific studies, reports from independent organizations, and then decided it was enough!"
