The film tells the stories of farmworkers on the frontlines of exposure to toxic chemicals and their courageous fight against an unjust and exploitative system. Through expert interviews, striking visuals, and eye-opening revelations, Toxic Harvest sheds light on the systemic failures that allow these chemicals to persist – from weak regulatory measuresto the profit-driven agendas of agrochemical companies. It also exposes the troubling double-standards that permit pesticides banned in some parts of the world to be sold and used elsewhere. At its core, the film calls for urgent action to phase out highly hazardous pesticides and a transition in our food production to agroecological farming practices for a safer, more sustainable future for all.
