Bananas!

To tie in with the One World Centre’s Fairtrade Fortnight.

Juan “Accidentes” Dominguez is on his biggest case ever. On behalf of twelve Nicaraguan banana workers he is tackling Dole Food in a ground-breaking legal battle for their use of a banned pesticide that was known by the company to cause sterility. Can he beat the giant, or will the corporation get away with it? In the suspenseful documentary BANANAS!*, filmmaker Fredrik Gertten sheds new light on the global politics of food.

Sadly the chemicals banned in the developed world are still sold for use in developing countries….find out more at http://www.bananasthemovie.com/
