From award-winning director Jennifer Baichwal, INTO THE WEEDS follows Bay Area groundskeeper, Dewayne Johnson who began to suffer rashes in 2014. As the condition continued to worsen, Johnson decided to take legal action against Monsanto, a multi-national agrochemical corporation who claimed that the chemicals he was using were safe, even though his experience proved otherwise. In this 1on1, we speak to Baichwal about telling the truth in documentaries, holding corporations accountable and the relationship between the Indigenous populations and the natural world.
