mins
Indigenous peoples voice their views on Western science, its
vision of a genetically engineered future, and its deep links
with corporate profits and globalization. The Leech and the Earthworm
is a journey that combines passionate critiques of a future threatened
by genetic engineering, and shares living alternatives to a globalized
monoculture, with stunning visuals and music from around the world.
The Leech and the Earthworm is a provocative film that inspires
us to ask serious questions of the collective illusion we call
“progress”.

The Leech and the Earthworm
A film by Max Pugh and Marc Silver
'Taking its title from a prescient folk tale of natural misinformation,
this impressive and imaginatively assembled campaigning documentary
explores the murky world of genetic sampling, engineering and
ownership and its explicit links to a far from dormant colonialism.
Focusing on the economic, ethical and legal issues around exploitation
of blood taken from first-nation islanders, the film uses impressionistic
image collages, effective scoring, archive footage and creative
graphics to trace a centuries-old lineage of abuse and argues
for an alternative, interdependent world view based on collaboration
and long-held wisdoms. Ambitious, provocative and searching, it's
a welcome and timely search for values and worth in the desert
of the corporate sprawl'.
Produced by Debra Harry UK/USA 2003 68 minutes
