Big Boys Gone Bananas!*
Overview
Fredrik Gertten's documentary, "BIG BOYS GONE BANANAS!" details the intense clash with Dole Food Company over his earlier film, "BANANAS!" which documents a lawsuit by Nicaraguan workers against the corporation. After being selected for the 2009 Los Angeles Film Festival, Gertten's film was unexpectedly disqualified, followed by a damaging article in the Los Angeles Business Journal and legal threats from Dole's lawyers. Through this compelling narrative of corporate intimidation and media manipulation, Gertten shines a light on the challenges faced by documentary filmmakers and the significant risks to free speech posed by powerful entities.
