Bananas

Institute History

Description

Banana plantation workers in Nicaragua have cancer, possibly because of exposure to pesticides. Now they march and open an historic lawsuit against companies that spray crops with banned pesticides. Fredrik Gertten (AN ORDINARY FAMILY) has made over 15 films that have been shown on television and at film festivals around the world.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
