162, Filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal on Into the Weeds

On this edition of Free City Radio we highlight a conversation with filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal on the documentary film Into the Weeds. This film is described this way: "INTO THE WEEDS follows groundskeeper Dewayne “Lee” Johnson and his fight for justice against Monsanto (now Bayer). Johnson’s case was the first to go to trial in a series of lawsuits involving tens of thousands of plaintiffs claiming Monsanto’s weed killer Roundup, or its industrial counterpart Ranger Pro, contributed to their cancer. The film follows this groundbreaking trial, while also stepping back to consider the systemic effects of the world’s most widely used herbicide." I first came across the film, Into the Weeds, within the context of my organizing work with Cinema Politica's screening series at Concordia University at which we projected this film for a community screening event. Info on the activism surrounding this film: https://www.intotheweedsimpact.com Music on this edition is by Daniel Lanois. Thank you for listening ! - Stefan.
