The film focuses on the widespread contamination of farmland with PFAS\, also known as “forever chemicals\,” due to the use of municipal sludge as fertilizer. It highlights the stories of farmers like Fred Stone and Adam and Johanna Nordell\, who have been significantly affected by this contamination. The film aims to raise awareness about the issue and potentially inspire action to protect farmers and the food supply. \nThe film is from director Jeff Christian and one of the executive producers is well-known actor and environmentalist\, Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket\, Dark Knight Returns\, Stranger Things\, Oppenheimer and more).
