A New Resistance
What are the consequences to our bodies when we are exposed to the chemical glyphosate, found in Roundup? It is routinely sprayed on genetically modified crops like corn and soy, as well as on wheat, sugar cane, and our backyard gardens and lawns. This film serves as a wake-up call to understand the health risks and to create a global movement to stop its use.

Ed Brown is the award winning Director and Producer of the acclaimed film “Unacceptable Levels,” which screened at 28 International Film Festivals. This film took on the chemical industry from the narrative of a father of young kids. It provided the world with a catalyst to create change in their own homes, as we face 80,000 chemicals in our system of commerce. As a new voice and advocate for organic food and non- toxic lifestyles, Ed has quickly established himself as a trusted ally fighting against the injustices of our current regulatory and food systems.
Ed is now prepared to take one specific chemical to task. “A New Resistance” promises to be one of the most important pieces of investigative journalism of our time and the urgency of this project cannot be overstated.

The use of glyphosate and Enlist Duo™ (a blend of glyphosate and 2,4-D, recently approved for use by the EPA), is approaching chemical trespass: We are all unintentionally ingesting potentially dangerous chemicals through our food without our consent.
I am inspired by my children to create this film,. Not enough people are aware of this issue, including me, at first. That is why I am devoting myself now to this project, to protect and help our children, and future generations across the globe.
