BANANAS!* (www.bananasthemovie.com)
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.
