BANANAS!* 香蕉!* [Director Attending]
Juan “Accidentes” Dominguez is on his biggest case ever. On behalf of twelve Nicaraguan banana workers he is tackling Dole Food in a groundbreaking 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.
一般而言,《香蕉!*》价格的三分之一来自杀虫剂的成本。全世界的香蕉种植者都受到杀虫剂毒素的折磨,或死于此。例如癌症,肾衰竭,不孕。胡安.多明格斯是洛杉矶一名处理百万美元人身伤害的律师,现在接手了他最大的一宗案子。被告是都乐水果公司和陶氏化学公司,历史也将因此被改写。
