Uma Voz Contra o Poder

Being from Saskatoon just west of Bruno Sask. I remember this story well and think this man is more than a local hero he's an international hero. To stand up against a major Goliath of a corporation as he did took more guts than most people have .I have family who farm in Sask. And Ab. And one who runs a minor seed and feed company West of Saskatoon and the outcome of this case impacted them as well .He to me should be held in the highest regard alongside. Erin Brockovich and others who stood up for what is right but because this was a story that took place in Canada rather than the U. S. A. It is not as well known. Erin Brockovich Stands up against giants but does not have a dog in the fight as Percy did and had a lot more press coverage to feed a larger group. So for a small time Farmer and community he is the gIant.

Clark Johnson's 'Percy' offers a significantly simplified from the real story of the struggle of an independent Canadian farmer with corporate bullies and the legal system. Its telling is pretty straight-forward, but it's well-produced and well-told - and that's in large part to the high-quality performances of its cast.

In this "covid" day and age, it is "difficult" to find a movie that appeals. On first thought i wanted to pass this title up, but wanted a movie that even slightly peaked my interest, this one did and I decided to watch! WISE CHOICE!

Fighting the big companies that insist we owe them for things we had no, never knew we did, is insane. Good people fighting, turning on each other over issues that were $$$ involved, and a matter of their lively hoods. BIG companies who try and bring down the little guys, who care, when they are the ones making ppl ill..(no names here)...is just wrong.....I applaud you Percy you are the hero!

It's based on a true story. Very good & believable acting overall from the entire cast, I thoroughly enjoyed this particular topic as i wasn't aware of this iconic trial which became an International precedent for other Farmers worldwide, and not be part of Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) trying to own farmlands via their majority shares on MONSANTO Genetically Modified Organisms => Let me refresh you the horrible haunting Eugenics/Transhumanist damages of the past: Remember the Terminator Seeds Scandal?

Where Multiple Companies & their shareholders tried to create a MONOPOLY of the World's Agriculture, country per country, while minimizing the damages on Human Health & escaping from this form of Bio-Terrorism; which eventually blew up with hundreds of lawsuits worldwide in 2014? Well there ya go.

I thoroughly enjoyed the evolution of the main thematic, from an isolated & local idyllic farming town issue, to an International problematic, from which the Suffering & Death are implicit themes, that are shared in specific scenes between the main cast & other characters (especially was fascinated by the dialogue on Far East Philosophies & Religious beliefs).

This movie is a Testament between those who Love & cherish the intrinsic value of LIFE and those who worship a Culture of DEATH.

Ps: I hope somebody makes a movie about José Bové, the french farmer who used a Flamethrower on Monsanto GMO Fields & even burnt a McDonalds that promoted GMO Food... was sent to jail. He is now a E. U. Green Party Parliamentary.

We continue to see this same theme over and over, corporations, with their legal army, political influence and unlimited resources , continuing to obliterate the working man. Our countries have become oligarchies, our politicians catering to lobbyists and big business. Not only was this an entertaining and well-acted movie, it helps to shed light on the bigger picture. If individuals don't fight back, at some point the option will no longer be available.
