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.

Sous forme de lettre-vidéo adressée à Henri Storck, sa caméra s’attarde dans les familles, dans les quartiers, auprès des responsables politiques locaux pour illustrer la transmission de la misère intellectuelle et de la pauvreté d'une génération à l'autre. Ce qui étonne, c'est le silence qui entoure les pauvres : à force d’être méprisés, ils se méprisent eux-mêmes. Ils souffrent, en silence, dans une violence de tous les jours.
