6:43 is so relatable/upsetting! I lived in old town Camarillo, California (about 20 minute drive from Ojai) for 4 years with my family. It was within walking distance and also surrounded by agriculture. My dog had 4 intense seizures *that we know of* during that time. Our dog has never had seizures anywhere else we've lived. We also lived with her in Tennessee for 4 years and Florida for 3 years. I wonder sometimes if living surrounded agriculture played a role in her seizures since she only ever had seizures in Camarillo and it's a documented area of toxic pesticide use.

My sister ran a very popular Dog Grooming shop, for many years in Ojai. Who began using what was supposed to be non-toxic to pets and people many years ago to eradicate fleas, She always ate a veggie diet always eating "organic" foods that was supposed to be healthy. She also lived near orange groves and other Ojai agriculture. She came down with parkinsonian type tremors and had to retire and sell her business due to hand tremors. Plant toxins themselves are used to kill pests and make pesticides. Even "organic" pesticides and herbicides combine various plant toxins to kill insect and herb pests. Recent Rat studies have shown that plant toxins-Lectins traveling up the Vagus nerve can go into their brain and give the rats Parkinsons. When consulting with Attorneys who are advertising about Paraquat causing Parkinsons have so far not accepted my sister as a client.

thank you for sharing. There is increasing evidence that RoundUp and its many generic copies are highly implicated in causing Parkinsons and many other degenerative diseases and cancers.

Thank you SO MUCH for making this film and bringing attention to this beyond important issue facing Venture County and almost every agricultural location (aka almost everywhere!). I will share this with others! What can we do to stop this?

Thank you for doing this

Frustrating and so sad that these kind of chemicals aren't band. What can we do?

education!, and i mean from young age on learn ppl whats, what. chemicals in themself aren't bad, it just becomes a hazard when they are mishandeld. humans on average live longer because of chemicals, nature produces toxins too and breaks it down again. the trick is to find the right chems and balances without harming lives.

great doc. hard pill to swallow. needs more goats.

hemos de hacerles caso a los expertos de este programa. Tienen razon. we should pay attention to the experts in this program. They are right.

How is OVLC allowing this - they don't know???

Organic farming!!!

Insanity - these chemicals must be stopped

Oxnard is getting sprayed everyday… nobody makes a film about them.

How do you access the map to see the pesticides in our areas.

If only the natives were allowed to keep their land. I can only imagine how healthy the land would be. (I’m not trying to be racists I’m a small percentage native) but it seems like their culture was so much more respectful.

wow

Shame on them!
