"Big Boys Gone Bananas"
The true story about a Swedish filmmaker and a banana corporation. Dirty tricks, lawsuits, manipulation, and the price of free speech.
August 2012, Los Angeles Times - Review
"Big Boys Gone Bananas!*," follows the events of those six months from the point of view of a David facing a lawyered-up Goliath. (...) The film is, however, an eye-opening look at the way the U.S. media fell lockstep behind Dole's claims. (...) Big Boys Gone Bananas!* remains a chilling look at the brave new field of strategic communication, which employs not just marketing experts but covert operatives to protect brands. As one specialist observes, we live in "an era of extreme reputation anxiety."
