Free to Grow (2025)

An industrial practice poisoning Oregon families

Rural Oregon families have taken up the fight against aerial herbicide spraying by the forestry industry for more than 50 years — but has public safety around these substances since improved? Weaving historic archival footage with modern-day stories, the film is a powerful portrait of families grappling with the realities of herbicide exposure in their own backyards.
