“Bananas!” trailer: Pesticides, health risks and lawsuits!
If you enjoyed Food, Inc., but wanted more of the flavor of protest and outrage that Boulder County has seen during the GMO beet debate, “Bananas!” may be the flick for you:
Of course, it’s not out yet. No, there’s a bit of controversy surrounding this one. For example, here’s an excerpt from an LA Times post on “Bananas!”:
In the eyes of Dole Food Co., Gertten’s film is an egregiously flawed document based on what Dole lawyer Scott Edelman calls “a phony story” that has been discredited by the allegedly fraudulent conduct of the L.A. attorney, Juan J. Dominguez, at the film’s center. Dole, the world’s largest producer of fruits and vegetables, is vowing to sue both the filmmaker and the Los Angeles Film Festival for defamation if it screens the movie this week.
Makes for interesting headlines, though. Dole Sues Bananas!
The movie, a documentary, chronicles a crusade by Los Angeles personal injury lawyer Juan J. Dominguez to win compensation in U.S. courts for thousands of workers who claim they were made sterile after exposure to the pesticide DBCP on Dole-operated banana farms in Nicaragua.
Main takeaway? It’s very different from another “Bananas” film we’re familiar with.
