What: Deconstructing Supper is an eye-opening journey into the billion dollar battle to control global food production.

From North America to Great Britain to India and back, Bishop meets scientist and activists with opposing views on genetic engineering, journalist and farmers who have experienced the might of giant biotech corporations and organic farmers in India who are fighting to preserve the natural biodiversity of crops.
