The Patent Wars

Did you know that you can patent colors, numbers, plants and animals – and that 20% of your genes are patented and owned by private corporations?

In a creative investigation, filmmaker Hannah Leonie Prinzler uncovers who profits from intellectual property, and who bears the economic and social consequences.
