Fredrik Gertten's 2009 film Bananas!* might easily have become another forgotten liberal doc about workers’ rights, until US food corporation Dole, taking umbrage at the exposé of its pesticide policy, slapped a lawsuit on the Swedish filmmaker.
Gertten filmed the ensuing circus, veering from terror at Dole’s orchestrated smear campaign to ballsy, fighting-back bravado.
