WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In the 1990s, elderly Saskatchewan farmer Percy Schmeiser (Walken) legally challenges a major company when it is discovered that their genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have interfered with his crops. Soon, Percy becomes a folk hero when he learns that by taking on the major conglomerate, he is representing thousands of similarly disenfranchised farmers around the world…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Christopher Walken pulls up his bootstraps to play real-life Canadian farmer Percy Schmeiser in a legal drama that highlights the age-long battle between hard-working farmers and corporations consumed by greed.
