Upon its initial airing in France, the film was immediately followed by a 50 minute long debate about pesticides, moderated by Julian Bugier, featuring among other guests Emmanuel Giboulot, on whom the film is based, and entitled "Comment faire sans pesticides?" ("How to manage without pesticides?"). The debate was then followed by a 50 minute long documentary on the food industry entitled "Nourrir les Hommes" ("Feeding Men").
Based on the true story of Emmanuel Giboulot, with character names changed (Giboulot becoming Gabriel Rivalan in the film, etc).
