Into the Weeds exposes how Roundup weed killers are toxic not just for weeds — but also people. Due to their widespread use in gardening, forests, and agriculture, it is hard to avoid ingesting or breathing the toxic chemicals.
The documentary is centered on the school district groundskeeper Dewayne “Lee” Johnson who filed a lawsuit against Monsanto (now Bayer) for not issuing complete health warnings on Roundup, leading Johnson — and countless more people who used the product, to get cancer. This Canadian film, available as of 2024 to stream in the United States, can inspire students to document and challenge the chemicals used at their school. Ideal for U.S. history, civics, and science classes.
