Bought Truth - Genetic Engineering in the Magnetic Field of Money is a German cinema documentary by Bertram Verhaag from 2010 about the influence of the economy on science and genetic engineering research.
Several examples show how industry suppresses scientific criticism. Have a say u. a. the biochemist Árpád Pusztai , who was fired from his British research institute after he reported in the media unhealthy results of his research on the effects of genetically modified foods on rats. Also shown is Ignacio Chapela , professor at the University of Berkeley , who had to sue there several times in order to continue to teach critically.
The film reports on the sale of part of the campus to the BP group , which was contractually guaranteed influence on teaching and the publication of research results. To cut off supplies for protesting students who climbed centuries-old trees that were being cut down for a new building, several fences were erected and the students were kept from sleeping with spotlights.

criticism
- "Uninhibitedly partisan, but worth seeing"
- "A work that gets under your skin."
- "It's amazing how the film brings the facts to light, shows the fine line between the agro-genetic engineer and the poison seller and proves the cold-setting of critics with unfair means."
- "Unrestrainedly partisan film - and yet it makes it terrifyingly clear: we don't know who we can trust, we don't know what we eat - we are the experimental animals!"
- "PURCHASED TRUTH is not a horror flick, unfortunately, but a documentary film about the consequences of genetically modified food and dealing with scientists who wanted to publish unpleasant results - and were silenced."
