New DVD: Bananas!
July 25, 2011
We recently added Bananas! to the DBRL collection. Similar in theme to Joe Berlinger’s Crude, the film has gained notoriety in the documentary community due to the legal issues surrounding the release of the film. It also currently has a rating of 83% from critics at Rotten Tomatoes. Here’s a synopsis from our catalog:
A suspenseful courtroom drama that focuses on the intricacies of the global politics of food by examining the actual case of Nicaraguan banana plantation workers and their suit against Dole Food Corporation. Their corporation was suspected of using banned pesticides, which were linked to generations of sterilized workers.
