FFF Bayern supports international co-production with Jonathan Bailey and Laura Dern

The project Monsanto will be a political and social courtroom drama about the global controversy surrounding the active ingredient glyphosate. Jonathan Bailey and Laura Dern play the leading roles, with John Schwartzman acting as Director of Photography. The film is directed by John Lee Hancock, who also wrote the screenplay with Michael Wisner, Alexandra Duparc and Ned Benson. A large part of the filming takes place in Bavaria, and the FFF Film Commission supported the crew in their search for locations.

The Munich-based company KrautPack Entertainment is producing from the German side, while the American co-production partner is Onda Entertainment, based in Los Angeles. Executive producers for the Netflix film are Philip Schulz-Deyle and Moritz Borman.

The FFF Bayern is supporting the production of Monsanto with 500,000 euros in the International Films and Series funding program.
