Bananas Unpeeled is a 26-minute film shot in Latin America and the Caribbean, investigating the social and environmental issues faced by plantation workers and small farmers in the Caribbean.

It examines fair trade policies and labeling as a positive alternative for workers on plantations where harsh working conditions and environmental damage are the norm.

The film was made by independent film-maker Nick Shaw and introduced by the political activist and comedian Mark Thomas.

This educational resource (the film and corresponding teacher action booklet) was quickly taken up by leading British NGO's (OXFAM, People & Planet).

[citation needed] The Co-Op UK supermarket chain was the first to introduce Fair trade Bananas into their stores.
