Director: Fredrik GerttenRun Time: 88 min.
"Anyone not rebuffed by the Vegas-revue title should find 'Big Boys Gone Bananas!' a provocative look at what can happen when corporate power takes aim at independent film. Documenting the vigorous strategies employed by the Dole Food Company to block the release of his 2009 film 'Bananas!' — about a lawsuit brought by Nicaraguan workers who suspected the company’s use of dangerous pesticides — the Swedish filmmaker Fredrik Gertten gains traction by taking the high road. More fist pump for freedom of speech than anticorporate tirade, 'Big Boys' follows the rocky fortunes of the original film, from Dole’s initial cease-and-desist letter to the 2010 victory of Mr. Gertten’s countersuit."
