Bananas!*

* is a 2009 Swedish documentary directed by Fredrik Gertten about a conflict between the Dole Food Company and banana plantation workers in Nicaragua over alleged cases of sterility caused by the pesticide DBCP.

After a screening at the Los Angeles Film Festival in June 2009, Gertten was sued for defamation by Dole on 8 July.

The lawsuit was preceded by threats of legal action from Dole aimed against the LA Film Festival, which resulted in sponsors pulling support and the film being removed from competition.

In September 2009, the Swedish parliament members Mats Johansson (M) and Luciano Astudillo (S) took the initiative of displaying the movie in the Parliament of Sweden, this being its premiere in Sweden.

[1] In late 2010 a court in Los Angeles decided in favor of the movie crew, making it possible to release the film in the US.
