À l’époque coloniale, le Grand Hôtel dans la ville de Beira était le plus grand hôtel du Mozambique : 350 chambres, des suites luxueuses, piscine olympique… Désormais l’édifice, en ruines, sans électricité ni eau courante, est habité par 3 500 personnes. Certains vivent ici depuis vingt ans. En plus des chambres, les antichambres, couloirs, aires de service et le sous-sol de l’hôtel – où c’est toujours la nuit – servent également d’habitation.

Micha Peled's documentary on BT farming in India observes the impact of genetically modified cotton on India's farmers, with a suicide rate of over a quarter million Bt cotton farmers each year due to financial stress resulting from massive crop failure and the price of Monsanto's Bt seeds. The film also disputes claims by the biotech industry that Bt cotton requires less pesticide and promises of higher yields, as farmers discover that Bt cotton requires more pesticide than organic cotton, and often suffer higher levels of infestation by Mealybug resulting in devastating crop losses, and financial and psychological stress on cotton farmers. Due to the biotech seed monopoly in India, where Bt cotton seed has become the standard, and organic seed has become unobtainable, thus pressuring cotton farmers into signing Bt cotton seed purchase agreements with biotech multinational corporation Monsanto.
