Summary
According to Egyptian mythology, when the ancient Egyptian sun god Re cried, his tears turned into honey bees upon touching the ground. For this reason, the honey bee was sacrosanct in ancient Egyptian culture. From the art depicting bees on temple walls to the usage of beeswax as a healing ointment, the honey bee was a pervasive cultural motif in ancient Egypt because of its connection to the sun god Re. Gene Kritsky delivers the first book to examine the relationship between the honey bee and ancient Egyptian culture, through the lenses of linguistics, archeology, religion, health, and economics.

Summary
The genetic modification of food and its worldwide consumption continues with limited knowledge of its effects on humans and the environment. But increasing studies are cause for concern especially on how genetically engineered seeds now dominate the food supply and the potentially adverse effects they are having on our health. A father looks at this trend in relation to his three boys and investigates the motives behind poor Haitian farmers burning hybrid corn and vegetable seeds donated by Monsanto after the earthquake in 2010. Data, statistical analysis and animation also help to illustrate the thematic strands of the documentary. GMO OMG travels across the US and the globe to explore possible solutions to the alarming growth in genetic food modification and the hope and direction offered by organisations like Seed Savers Exchange and Svalbard Global Seed Vault.. Winner of Best Documentary at Berkshire International Film Festival, Winner of Audience Choice at Yale Environmental Film Festival, and Official Selection at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival.
