OUT-GMOs will be presenting the Documentary, "A Silent Forest", narrated by Dr. David Suzuki at Traditions Cafe, 300 5th Ave, on Friday, Sept 8 at 7:00PM. A Silent Forest depicts the growing threat of Genetically Engineered trees. Dr. Suzuki, who is an award-winning scientist, environmentalist, and is currently the host of the CBC television's The Nature of Things, breaks down complex scientific concepts while detailing the dangerous impacts GE trees will have on human health, native forests, forest-dwelling people and wildlife.

OUT-GMOs (Olympian's United for Truth about Genetically Modified Organisms) is a local grassroots alliance to educate the community on the health and environmental risks of consuming and growing genetically engineered foods. OUT-GMOs hosts monthly movie screenings, conducts outreach and events, and is working to improve the quality and safety of the food served in the Olympia School District. Films, books and CD lectures on GMOs are for sale after the events. Kevin Anderson, who helped spearhead OUT-GMOs, is also the Director of the National GM-Free School Lunch Campaign that is working to remove GM ingredients from kids' school meals.
