Few things on Earth are as miraculous and vital as seeds, worshiped and treasured since the dawn of humankind.

SEED: The Untold Story follows passionate seed keepers protecting our 12,000 year-old food legacy.

In the last century, 94% of our seed varieties have disappeared. As biotech chemical companies control the majority of our seeds, farmers, scientists, lawyers, and indigenous seed keepers fight a David and Goliath battle to defend the future of our food.

In a harrowing and heartening story, these heroes rekindle a lost connection to our most treasured resource and revive a culture connected to seeds.

SEED features Vandana Shiva, Dr. Jane Goodall, Andrew Kimbrell, Winona LaDuke and Raj Patel.

6:30pm: Arrive and mingle
6:45pm: Official Welcome
7:00pm: Film begins (1 hour + 34 mins)

Hi neighbours, I would like to introduce myself. I'm Dr. Siri Reddy. I have 12 years of experience with dentistry and orthodontics. My aim is to make NZ’s best dental services available to everyone.

I treat simple cavities to complex full mouth rehabilitation. I focus on preventative dentistry and overtreating is not my policy. I just treat what needs to be done, giving you a genuine and honest opinion on your teeth.

I am also a certified Invisalign provider spreading many confident smiles over Auckland. I have been successfully treating various malocclusion with simple solutions. I am an expert in doing metal, ceramic and invisible braces, having done my Masters in Orthodontics.

If your Orthodontist is saying that they have to take out teeth for braces, come and see me. I may offer you something different which may not mean extracting teeth. I am highly experienced in functional Orthodontics as well which helps modify the growth of jaws.

We have got all the latest technology in our practice. We do 3D guided implant technology, 3D CAD CAM crown technology, Invisalign, laser dentistry, digital x-rays, air abrasion etc. which helps us be more precise and accurate in our diagnosis and treatment.

We customise plans to suit every budget, with interest-free payment plans and free consultations, free second opinions and a full exam for only $69. We have lots of specials and offers in-house, please call us to find out more.

We are doing our best to help the people in our community maintain their dental health. We support our community both physically and financially to achieve this goal.

Contact us on 09 625 1411 or book online. Our friendly team will be more than happy to help you.

Find us at 150 Hillsborough Road, Hillsborough.
