Big Boys Gone Bananas

Fredrik Gertten, Sweden, 2013

86 min.DK/Documentary

The film has been called a classic David vs
Goliath story - but it is more about freedom of speech and what
happens to a documentary filmmaker when he goes up against a large
corporation such as Dole Foods. How far will Dole go to shift the focus
off of them and onto the filmmaker even after their own CEO has
admitted wrong doing in a court of law and was captured on film. Media
spin, PR scare tactics, dirty tricks, lawsuits, and corporate bullying
come into play to try and destroy the filmmaker. But, it is the people
who ultimately prevail, thus creating a cautionary tale and a real lifelesson
learning experience.
