INSIDE THE EPISODE Imagine battling for justice against a giant corporation in court, your health and life on the line, and being awarded over $200 million. This was the reality for Dewayne "Lee" Johnson, the brave groundskeeper who took on Monsanto and won a landmark lawsuit that shocked the world. His story is not just about one man's fight against a powerful company; it's a tale of resilience, truth, and the pursuit of justice in the face of overwhelming adversity.
