Trailer for BANANAS! - doc about ill workers vs. Dole court case


BANANAS!* trailer from WG Film on Vimeo.
And here's the site for the movie.
Here's a post at the site about Dole & allies trying to stop the screening of the film at the upcoming Los Angeles Film Festival. The film & the court case accuses Dole of using banned pesticides in Nicaragua & harming workers, from the site:
"One of the pesticides, a DBCP-based compound called Nemagon, was banned in the USA in 1977 for causing male sterility. Standard Fruit—now Dole—continued to use the pesticide in its plantations outside the USA up to 1982."
Got the link from All These Wonderful Things.
UPDATE: LA Times article: Lawyer faces contempt charges in pesticide case against Dole
