A new documentary explores one man’s landmark settlement against an agrochemical company

In 2014, Dewayne “Lee” Johnson was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He worked as a groundskeeper and doctors suspected the disease came from the weed killers he used every day. Johnson sued the manufacturer, Monsanto, and won a landmark settlement. His ordeal is told in a powerful new documentary, Into The Weeds, directed by Canadian filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal.
