Lecture (9/28): “What happened to the bees? A documentary on the environmental conflict of the cultivation of transgenic soybeans in Mayan territory”
Please join us for our weekly lunchtime lecture. This event will feature a presentation that will discuss the negative impact of the cultivation of transgenic soybeans in the Mayan territory of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, such as the massive death of bees, the contamination of water and soil, conflicts between cultures, and the dispossession of the territory — and the way in which the documentary film “What Happened to the Bees?” addresses this story through the testimony of Gustavo Huchín and Leydy Pech.
