Mar. 16, 2025

Christopher Walken’s newest film is tackling an industry giant.

But as Percy himself says in the trailer, he’s a “seed saver” who has relied on growing his crops from decades worth of seeds he has saved and harvested on his own.

“I get sued for doing the same thing my family’s been doing for hundreds of years,” Percy says in the trailer.

“Monsanto says farmer’s rights don’t matter,” Percy says. “We gotta keep fighting.”
