New film Percy tells story of Canadian canola farmer who stood his ground against Monsanto

Percy Schmeiser spent decades taking on the multinational over patented seeds. A new film starring Christopher Walken looks at what happens when big business runs into a small yet mighty obstacle, and the man who refused to let the giant seed-maker undermine his livelihood. Schmeiser passed away Oct. 14 at the age of 89 — days after the release of the motion picture based on him.
