BIG BOYS GONE BANANAS! (E) 2011 GERTTEN, FREDRIK £14.99
Documentary following the attempts of food giant Dole to silence a film
crew who called their practices into question. In 2009, Swedish
filmmaker Fredrik Gertten made a documentary called ‘Bananas!’,
following a group of Nicaraguan workers who won a lawsuit against Dole
after claiming that they were being poisoned. Subsequently, the film
came up against distribution problems: the Los Angeles film festival,
which was lined up to premiere the film, was put under pressure to pull
it from its programme, while the director found himself issued with a
lawsuit from Dole, and Swedish journalists and MPs were also put under
pressure from the company.
