“A film about Chiquita Banana’s illicit payments to Colombia’s paramilitaries. Fined $25million by the US Federal Court for funding a terrorist organisation, Chiquita is now facing a number of new lawsuits. An array of plaintiffs want compensation for the victims of Chiquita’s actions and are demanding that former company directors are extradited from the US to stand trial in Colombia. As ex-paramilitaries begin to speak out, the truth is emerging about a dark chapter of American corporate history, where big business took sides in a civil war and profits mattered more than lives.”
