Into the Weeds: Dewayne "Lee" Johnson vs. Monsanto Company follows former groundskeeper Johnson and his fight against Monsanto, a multinational agrochemical corporation acquired by German pharmaceutical giant Bayer in 2018.

Bayer maintains that it's safe to use. The documentary follows the groundbreaking trial, including the release of the Monsanto Papers - internal documents which reveal that, for decades, Monsanto had been influencing studies about glyphosate's potential to cause cancer. The film introduces other plaintiffs whose lives have been upended by their non-Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnoses, while also looking into the widespread and systemic effects of the world's most widely used herbicide.

Material properties


To make a good product, choosing materials with the right properties is essential. A mobile phone, for example, should withstand high stress, be hard but not crack, and also be comfortable to hold. In this film, we will take a closer look at material properties. Elasticity and plasticity describe how materials behave under stress, while yield strength and tensile strength indicate a material's durability. Hardness measures resistance to damage, and thermal expansion describes how materials expand with temperature changes. By understanding these properties, we can create products that are both effective and durable.
