Original Title:

Big Boys Gone Bananas!*

A stirring account of how Swedish consumers and politicians supported Fredrik Gertten when American academics, lawyers and media outlets obsequiously acquiesced in Dole Foods’ bid to block Bananas!*, his 2009 exposé of its use of banned pesticides in Nicaragua.

A punchy examination of an oppressive corporate machinery in full swing.
