Banana Land: Blood, Bullets & Poison

"You'll never feel good about buying bananas again."

Why is the price of a banana from Central America only a third of that of an apple from Michigan? This documentary attempts to answer that question by examining the supply chain between Central America and the US, and uncovering the violence that has enabled the banana industry for more than a century.
