A documentary project supported by Chocolate Films appeared on the front page of the Guardian website this weekend. The film considers the impact that supermarket price wars in luxury fruit are having on local communities in Costa Rica. Focussing specifically on the pineapple trade, the documentary shows that the drive for profits in Europe can have devastating consequences for people and the environment in other parts of the world.
Chocolate Films produced subtitles in six European languages for the campaign film which was commissioned by Consumers International.
