DESCRIPTION:In this exposé, an intrepid group of Florida farmworkers battle to defeat 
 the $4 trillion global supermarket industry through their ingenious Fair 
 Food program, which partners with growers and retailers to improve working 
 conditions for farm laborers in the United States.\n\nThere is more 
 interest in food these days than ever, yet there is very little interest in 
 the hands that pick it. Farmworkers, the foundation of our fresh food 
 industry, are routinely abused and robbed of wages. In extreme cases they 
 can be beaten, sexually harassed or even enslaved – all within the 
 borders of the United States.\n\nFood Chains reveals the human cost in our 
 food supply and the complicity of large buyers of produce like fast food 
 and supermarkets. Fast food is big, but supermarkets are bigger – earning 
 $4 trillion globally. They have tremendous power over the agricultural 
 system. Over the past 3 decades they have drained revenue from their supply 
 chain leaving farmworkers in poverty and forced to work under subhuman 
 conditions. Yet many take no responsibility for this.\n\nThe narrative of 
 the film focuses on an intrepid and highly lauded group of tomato pickers 
 from Southern Florida – the Coalition of Immokalee Workers or CIW – who 
 are revolutionizing farm labor. Their story is one of hope and promise for 
 the triumph of morality over corporate greed – to ensure a dignified life 
 for farm workers and a more humane, transparent food chain.\n\nFood Chains 
 premiered at the 2014 Berlin Film Festival and screened subsequently at the 
 Tribeca Film Festival and Guadalajara Film Festival. Food Chains will be 
 released nationwide November 21st. The film’s Executive Producers include 
 Eva Longoria and Eric Schlosser.\n
