Sunú tells the story of the Tarahumara people in Northern Mexico and their struggle to continue cultivating native heirloom maize, while Monsanto, an agribusiness giant, attempts to contaminate native crops with genetically modified corn.

For more information visit http://sunudoc.com Seen through the eyes of small, midsize and large Mexican maize producers, SUNÚ knits together different stories from a threatened rural world. It journeys deep into the heart of a country where people realize their determination to stay free, to work the land and cultivate their seeds, to be true to their cultures and forms of spirituality, all in a modern world that both needs them and despises them. SUNÚ reveals how maize and everything it gives life to could be lost forever, and shares a generous tapestry of simple, heartfelt messages for the farmers of the world and the city dwellers who could lose the capability to make important choices unless they act soon.
