A New Resistance
"Knowledge is power ... especially when it comes to our own health. I contributed and truly believe that A New Resistance is a must for every family to see so we stop poisoning our bodies, allowing us to live longer and healthier.”
—John Paul Dejoria

Six very long years… That’s what it took to make a single documentary about a single chemical. It affects everyone as well, and most people really don’t know anything about it, and further most people don’t care either. That mindset certainly is changing, albeit all too slowly. The chemical is called glyphosate, and it is truly the backbone chemical of our food system. How it got to that point is profound, moving, crazy, stunning, and unbelievable. Even more compelling, somehow one company, which had a notorious track record for death and destruction across the planet, was given the keys to a majority of the system. This is almost unbelievable. But it happened.

A NEW RESISTANCE is a feature-length documentary that we need right now, in my opinion. With COVID-19 and the variants now arising, I hope that people are paying more attention to what is going into their bodies more than they ever have been. Obviously, everyone needs to take precautions when it comes to a virus, but to understand the interplay between the virus, our genes, and the toxic chemicals we are ingesting daily is paramount to upending the virus and comparatively changing the course of its trajectory.

If people can consider for a moment that after you consume over 40 grams of sugar, your immune system is suppressed for up to five hours. And when you realize that half of the sugar we ingest is coming from corn or sugar beets, and Americans consume over 38 pounds of high fructose corn syrup per year, it sets the stage for some serious ramifications that few, if any, are actually talking about.

My film is about the rise, and hopefully the fall of glyphosate, which is found in most GMO plants that we, or the animals products we consume, contain. We need to get ourselves tested for toxic chemicals, as well as the coronavirus, and gain a better understanding of our bodies and our approach toward a specific problem like this, and others in the future.

The movie will debut in March of 2021, and I implore others to not just watch it but to make changes in their lives for themselves and those around them. It is my opinion, that through this, we can all create something new and perhaps even lasting, where our challenges may be more manageable in the future and a sense of community can prevail.

A New Resistance: Treatment and Synopsis Reviewed by Brown Saddle Films

Analytics Tracking - Video
The documentary “A New Resistance” will tell the story of glyphosate, the key ingredient in Monsanto’s broad-spectrum weed killer "Roundup."

Greenwich, CT (PRWEB) November 30, 2014

For almost 40 years, glyphosate has been embraced for its ability to make farming easier by wiping out weeds in corn, soybean, sugar cane and cotton fields, and drying out crops ahead of harvesting. In addition to agricultural use, over 100 million pounds are used by homeowners and gardeners to keep lawns, playing fields and golf courses perfectly manicured.

But glyphosate is failing to work – resistant 'Super Weeds' are taking over farmland, requiring farmers to use more glyphosate and even more toxic chemicals. Enlist Duo™, a blend of glyphosate and 2,4-D (a major component of Agent Orange) was recently approved for use by the EPA.¹

Glyphosate is an antibiotic, a chelator, and an endocrine disruptor. It is being found inside of our bodies, and is entering the bodies of our newborn children through breast milk. A host of recent studies have linked Roundup and glyphosate to an alarming number of diseases threatening animal and human health, including obesity, diabetes, depression, infertility, cancer, celiac disease, gluten intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome, autism, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.²,³

Scientists are connecting glyphosate to a health crisis in this country, and the standalone statistics for some of these illnesses are staggering: 1 in every 2 children will have autism by 2034, if the current rates continue (according to a March 24, 2014 article:)
cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/data.html; The United States currently has the highest rate of infertility in recorded history (according to November 29, 2012, article by Pew Social Trends); Crohn’s disease in children has increased by 79% in the past 10 years.

“Statistics like these can no longer be denied or ignored. This one chemical has permeated every aspect of our lives from our food and water to our lawns and parklands. It is time to create our own resistance, in the form of a spark, which will be ignited by this film.” – Filmmaker Ed Brown

“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. In 2015, this deadly chemical once again comes up for renewal. The EPA will be determining if glyphosate use should continue as is, be limited, or halted. In July 2013, despite countless letters and documents submitted in protest, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) raised the maximum allowable residues of glyphosate in food – up to 30 times higher. Now officials are attempting to raise the allowable residue again.

The film will be focusing on the history and impact of glyphosate, the accompanying “inert ingredients” that combine with glyphosate to increase its toxicity, and on the people working and volunteering behind the scenes to expose the issues. The film explores why governments are not monitoring for glyphosate exposure, and why food isn’t routinely tested for contamination. Renowned scientists and institutions, leading authorities on glyphosate and its effects on the environment, will be interviewed. A groundbreaking new independent research study, currently being conducted in preparation for the EPA determination, will be measuring levels of glyphosate and its metabolite (AMPA) in breastfeeding mothers. “A New Resistance” will be following the study and report on its conclusions within the framework of the storyline.

Upon completion, this film will be distributed globally as a free learning tool, available to anyone searching the internet for information. It will be used—without restriction—by organizations, companies, bloggers and individuals to educate their communities, families, friends, co-workers and loved ones.

“It is time to investigate glyphosate’s impact on human health and the environment. It is time to stop raising the residue limits for a chemical that has potentially harmful effects on our health. It is time to stop the use of glyphosate altogether, unless and until peer-reviewed independent studies of glyphosate prove its use to be unquestionably safe.” – Filmmaker Ed Brown

Total Budget for film completion: $150,000

A New Resistance: Ed Brown Dishes About Glyphosate and His Latest Documentary
ByChrystal Johnson
Mar 24, 2015 documenatries
Glyphosate herbicide injury to coffee

RoundUp, Glyphosate. Monsanto. Those words are becoming a larger part of the discussion in many homes. For people that aren’t so familiar with those terms, Ed Brown is directing an upcoming documentary titled A New Resistance. This film is designed to educate the public about the truth regarding glyphosate.

After directing, producing and editing the acclaimed film Unacceptable Levels, Ed has become a trusted voice in the health and well being of people around the world. Dedicated to uncovering the truth as it relates to the chemical pollution of our bodies, when this project was presented to him, he felt this story had to be told.

I had the opportunity to ask Ed a few questions about glyphosate and A New Resistance. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did.

1. What inspired you to direct A New Resistance?

That’s always easy to answer, because my life and the direction it has taken is all about protecting my children. Seriously, that is the bottom line for me, because they are my inspiration for doing everything that I do every single day. I always want to not only improve myself, but the changes that I am making in my own lifestyle and in theirs is about setting them up for a great future. To be honest, I really didn’t see myself making another film about toxic chemicals, but this one… This one particular chemical deserves a lot of special attention, and I figured that I would give it a massive spotlight by way of a movie. And everyone will see why this year.
2. What do we need to know about glyphosate?

First thing that people need to know is that it is everywhere, and like it or not, it’s inside of most if not all of us right now. A lot of people get it confused and equate it to RoundUp, which is the best selling herbicide in the world, but glyphosate is the active ingredient inside of many different weed killing products on the market today. It is designed to kill bacteria, and it had been doing it pretty effectively for several decades. But even the industry understands that it isn’t working like it used to, so now they’re designing chemicals that really make things hard on the planet, people, animals, soil and beneficial insects everywhere. So, in a nutshell, it is the active ingredient that kills bacteria in plants, and it is in a great deal of the processed foods that we eat in this country and abroad.
3. What are some of the health effects of glyphosate that we should be concerned about?

This is where it gets touchy, because the industry has done such an amazing job of only testing glyphosate on rats for 90 days and then pushing this short form science out as if it is a case closed study. To truly understand the real health effects of this one chemical is also difficult, as it is not the only chemical at the moment – they work in tandem across the spectrum to kill weeds. At the present moment, we understand that there are a variety of chronic diseases that this chemical is linked to, which are autism, Crohn’s disease, infertility, cancer, ALS, Alzheimer’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis. Now, we always need to preface this with a full understanding that due to current patent laws on this chemical, the companies creating it are not allowing a third party independent assessment of this chemical to provide our society with a clear understanding about health impacts. Imagine cars being allowed to drive on the highway with only the manufacturers safety assessment for us to rely on to determine safety. That’s the situation that we find ourselves in.
4. Do you have tips on how we can avoid glyphosate in our daily lives?

I joke about living in a bubble or in a Tibetan monastery often with audiences – which does not receive the kind of laughs I hope for by the way – but in all practicality eating organic and not spraying your gardens, schools, lawns or anything with herbicides would be the best way to avoid it. I mean, there are hundreds of schools all across this nation that are backed up against farmers fields and they spray that everywhere, in the belief that it is fine. It’s not like the kids at school are going to speak up about it, so what do we do? How do we avoid direct contact that way? After all, you can spray herbicides up to 90 feet from a school, and that is suggesting that drift doesn’t happen from the application, which is astounding to me that companies can get away with suggesting that. We have to work with farmers to get them to try something new. We have to get people to buy something new. We have to get people to think something new as well. Once we can start making that happen we can all start making a real difference.
5. How can people help stop the use of glyphosate?

We have all of the control, so stop buying into this nonsense that we can’t do anything about it. The companies do not have all of the power in this, so people need to stop believing that. We have a responsibility to each other, especially the next generation. So, consider how exciting and strong we can all feel by understanding that fact. We have all of the control here, and there is ONE agency that has full control over the license at this point, and that is the EPA. If people can get celebrities flooded with comments, and new agencies have people throwing their thoughts around and we can get them to reconsider their positions about whatever, why not get everyone focused to put pressure where it needs to be? It’s the EPA. Lets get them to reconsider where their priorities are, whether it’s our children or the chemical companies, and then we can really start to see what the situation is from their perspective. Then, it will be time for the parents out there, especially the mothers who have glyphosate in their breast milk and in their infant formula that’s going straight into their babies, we’ll let them chime in as well. It’s all up to us. Always. So, lets put that control in our hands and change the world and the way we eat.

A New Resistance is expected to be released sometime this year. Follow A New Resistance on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to keep updated on the release date.
