La loi de la banane (TV Movie 2017)

La loi de la banane: Directed by Mathilde Damoisel. With Gaël Giraud, Geoffrey Jones, Cécile Renouard. In 19th century Central America, a few entrepreneurial cowboys built an empire that enslaved populations and corrupted governments for over 100 years. The United Fruit Company thrived on unregulated capitalism; this film tells its story and that of its pioneers who feared neither God nor Man, and managed to get away with murder.

“Good movie that recaps well what happened (AFAICT).nHowever, I wish they talked a little more explicitly about the human rights abuse that this economic colonization created, and glorified these entrepreneurs less. They were essentially modern slave owners…”
