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.

Months after Dewayne "Lee" Johnson was soaked from head to toe with a herbicide called Ranger Pro, he noticed lesions on his skin. What he'd developed was called non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a form a cancer that's associated with glyphosate, the chemical the Monsanto Company had long touted as completely safe for humans. In this episode, Colin Ellis speaks with director Jennifer Baichwal about her latest doc "Into the Weeds," which explores Lee's fight for a warning label.

Spring is in the air, and non-fiction is on the screens....On this episode we're highlighting some of the films playing this year at the Hot Docs Canadian International Film Festival.  First up we're looking at the opening night affair' 'Into The Weeds'It's the powerful story of Dewayne “Lee” Johnson, a former Bay Area groundskeeper who takes on a multinational agrochemical corporation after a terminal cancer diagnosis.  Adding to her award-winning body of work centered on our strained relationship with the natural world, Baichwal follows Johnson through his battle, setting his personal journey against a global environmental crisis.This is truly a film that dissects and breaks down how we treat the land that we grow our food on not to mention the food itself and looks at the lack of responsibility we've had towards the natural world and the things we need to do to protect it.We had the unique pleasure of sitting down with director Jennifer Baichwal to talk about the issues in the film and so very much more.Check it out at Hot Docs or watch it when it opens theatrically on May 20th.

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.

Pedram Esfandiary is an attorney in the Los Angeles office of Baum Hedlund Aristei & Goldman, where he concentrates his practice on toxic tort injuries, pharmaceutical drug liability, class actions, consumer fraud litigation and police misconduct lawsuits. He currently leads the firm's legal team that is filing lawsuits against manufacturers of baby food for knowingly selling baby food with with “dangerously high levels” of toxic heavy metals. This new mass tort litigation involves allegations against the major brand manufacturers (Nurture Happy Family Organics, Beech-But, Hain, Plum Organics, Walmart-Parent's Choice, Sprout Foods and Gerber) that their baby food contains dangerous levels of arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury, which are all considered toxic heavy metals and are known to damage neurological development and brain development in infants and are associated with autism and ADHD in children. Pedram was an integral part of the trial team that won the historic $2 billion verdict against Monsanto (now Bayer) in May 2019 on behalf of a couple who together sprayed Roundup weed killer on their properties for 30 years. The jury awarded Alva and Alberta Pilliod $55 million in compensatory damages. Pedram was also served in a similar capacity on the very first Roundup cancer case to go to trial against Monsanto, resulting in a $289 million verdict on behalf of groundskeeper Dewayne “Lee” Johnson. And he participated in the second Roundup trial against Monsanto on behalf of Edwin Hardeman. The jury in that trial awarded Mr. Hardeman $80 million for his damages. A winner on Law360's Rising Stars Top 40 Under 40 list for 2019, Pedram has been recognized as an attorney whose legal accomplishments transcends his age. He has also been selected to Southern California Super Lawyers® – Rising Stars and the National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40. Read Pedram's full bio on the Baum Hedlund website here.

On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet series, investigative journalist Carey Gillman discusses her new book, The Monsanto Papers: Deadly Secrets, Corporate Corruption, and One Man’s Search for Justice. Gillamtells the story of Dewayne “Lee” Johnson, a California groundskeeper who won a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Monsanto in 2018 after he was exposed to its glyphosate-herbicides and got cancer. Decades of research has connected the weed killer to cancer, but Monsanto went to great lengths to hide how dangerous it was. What has changed since this lawsuit and what does it take to hold corrupt companies accountable?

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by attorney Timothy Litzenburg, a partner at Kincheloe, Litzenburg and Pendleton, to discuss the recent Monsanto litigation and the influx of similar cases regarding chemical companies and consumers’ health. Timothy is an expert in the field of chemical exposure law, representing the plaintiff who was awarded the $289 million verdict (later reduced to $78 million by the presiding judge) in August of 2018 in Dewayne “Lee” Johnson v. Monsanto.   In today’s conversation, Aaron and Timothy talk about the historic verdict as well as the implications it has had, and continues to have.   Timothy explains that in the wake of Mr. Johnson’s victory he realized the need for a firm dedicated to other Monsanto victims; subsequently, he started Litzenburg Cancer Law. Timothy and Aaron talk about the evolution of Mr. Johnson’s case but also ask questions about what it means for future cases. How does the truth come out? What is the developing science behind these cases? Let us know what you think; listen in as Aaron and Timothy break down this landmark Monsanto case and explore what may be next for chemical exposure cases.   To learn more about Johnson v. Monsanto and Timothy’s cancer law practice, please visit his website here.   Host: Aaron Freiwald Guest: Timothy Litzenburg     Follow Good Law | Bad Law: YouTube: Good Law | Bad Law Instagram: @GoodLawBadLaw Website: https://www.law-podcast.com

In this episode of the Toxin Free Mom To Be podcast, we have Jessica on to talk about ways to avoid one of the most toxic substances we are all exposed to daily - Round Up. This is the number one pesticide used worldwide and is found in the air, on food, in tampons, vaccines, teas, coffee, and just about anywhere else you least expect it. Sadly, Jessica's daughter got a rare form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma from exposure to the product so she is now very familiar with ways to avoid it, as well as, how to detox it out of the body (which we discuss in-depth during this episode.) She also regularly shares health and wellness tips of all sorts over on her instagram @momcologist_on_a_mission (I highly recommend following her! She posts lots of info you don't want to miss out on.) Interestingly, her daughter got the same rare form of cancer as Dewayne Lee Johnson, who was just awarded nearly $80 million dollars by a California jury. They ruled that Monsanto's product, Round Up, not only caused his cancer but they did so with 'malice', meaning the company was fully aware of the problems its' product could cause. This is definitely an episode you won't wanna miss out on!
