We earlier published an interview of Fredrik Gertten (http://www.uljas.net/ajankohtaiset/vaarallinen-banaanitarina/) about Bananas! so we are obviously interested in writing a follow-up on the story.
I was also told that our article is seen on the document so naturally we'd appreciate a change to see.

Hey, my name is Alexandra. I'm from Sweden and my sister saw your movie and she recommended it to me, but I can't see if it's showing anywhere here in the US. I guess it's probably because of how things here seem to be shut down if there isn't a winning interest for the company who the movie is made about.

Hi,
I teach journalism at the largest journalism school in Australia at Monash University in Melbourne. I'd really like to use the film in my teaching as a very clear example of the differences between journalism and PR and the kind of pressure you can, at times, expect if you publish controversial facts about corporate giants. Can you please send me a review copy on DVD.

Best Regards

Johan

Within the Festival week te participants are working on the project which will be shown on the last Festival day.
BEFF also shows the films, which were demonstrated at the leading world festivals and got awards. The spectators will have the opportunity to discuss the issues raised in the films with the field experts, voice their own opinions and, maybe, join the Ecology Life movement, the choice of the film characters. Ecological consciousness is the main target! Everyone can do something to protect our environment!

I'd be interested in a screener as this is potentially something we could show at the Centre for Investigative Journalism's Film Week.

We are a small film society in eastern Canada, and wish to include this film in our schedule for 2012. Can we get a dvd for our region, do one screening, and put it in our local town library? Many thanks. I'm boycotting Dole, by the way!

I'm teaching swedish for immigrants and the educational screening of the film will meet double goals if possible to show with swedish underlines. It will be an extraordinary opportunity to make a discussion about the film content with my students.
