Percy Schmeiser, a farmer, had his canola crop taken over by Monsanto after it was contaminated by their genetically modified seeds. He fought back, suing Monsanto for environmental pollution, seed destruction, and slander. Despite being a small farmer, Percy refused to use Monsanto's herbicide Roundup and instead chose to grow natural seeds. He warned the public about the dangers of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and the potential harm they could cause to human health. Percy's case against Monsanto went all the way to the supreme court, where he won a personal victory but ultimately lost the battle to have his rights as a farmer respected.
