The documentary tells two very different human fates in the 1920s Soviet Union. Nikolai Vavilov was a botanical genius, Trofim Lyssenko was an agronomist who made great promises and fake inventions. Each of them tried to solve the country's nutritional problem, but only one succeeded.
Unfortunately the movie The Scientist, The Imposter and Stalin: How to Feed the People is not yet available on HBO Max.
