Into the Weeds follows the trial of school district groundskeeper Dewayne “Lee” Johnson and his lawsuit against Monsanto (now Bayer) for their weed killer Roundup and other pollutants that contribute to cancer in tens of thousands of plaintiffs. This Canadian film, available to stream in the United States, raises questions about the chemicals students are exposed to at school.
Students can learn about alternatives to pesticides and campaigns to protect public health from Beyond Pesticides.
