Career


Deborah Koons began her directorial career with A Little Crazy in 1995. She gained further notoriety with her award winning film The Future of Food, which involved the investigation into the truth behind unlabeled genetically engineered foods that have been present within the U.S. food market for the past decade. The concept for the film came after her series “All About Babies,” which examined the first two years of a newborn baby’s life. According to Denise Caruso from the Organic Consumers Association, “she’s had a lifelong concern about how food is grown, and [has] ‘always wanted to make a big film about agriculture that was thorough as ‘Babies.’’” The film presents many ethical and scientific concerns, most of which relate to genetically engineered foods, biodiversity and Monsanto's prosecution of Canadian farmers.
