Synopsis

One of the biggest challenges that farmers face is the overwhelming growth of weeds that kill off their crops. With the emergence of herbicide-resistant "super weeds," the problem has gotten worse, leading Dow Chemical Company to develop 2,4-D, a powerful herbicide that kills super weeds, but also nearly everything in its wake. In response, DOW created a type of corn that is resistant to 2,4-D, spurring environmental activists to question the safety of genetically modified foods.
