DYING IN ABUNDANCE

"Control oil and you control nations. Control food and you control the people!"
Henry Kissinger 1974

A handful of multinational companies have managed to control the "heart" of the food we put on our table everyday: The very seed and, therefore, global agricultural production.

Brokers in the developed world gamble with food, raising and lowering prices, playing with the fundamental right of millions of people to access food.

Meanwhile, almost a billion people on this planet are undernourished and 25,000 die of hunger each day.

Could it be that the Earth can no longer feed its population? The evidence proves otherwise! The food crisis, as it will go down in history, occurs at a time when the planet is producing more food than ever.

Filmed in India and the USA, "Dying in abundance" unfolds the absurd before our eyes, the interconnections of a system in which, while there is enough food, it is so expensive the poor cannot afford it.

@liketanyanot Look at the states they shipped the jobs away from. They surround the great lakes, you need water to live food you can go without for a while water you can only go a few days without.

You can cut off the water for the entire country if you have full control of the lakes

Illegal aliens are all concentrated in states with natural resources
