OUR FOOD:
Stolen lands, deprived populations.
A Web Documentary in 5 Episodes - Episode 3
In the world, numerous communities are victims of land grabbing. Their lands are invaded by large corporations, sometimes under threats and violence. Deprived of resources, they are forced to migrate or work for these companies. However, some communities resist and fight to save their lands from the hands of agro-industry giants.
In this third episode, Hippo confronts the abuses of the agro-industry and meets peasants who have been driven away from their lands. Meanwhile, Blanche investigates the impact of these changes on local communities.
Struggling for the Land
Is there a connection between the commodification of bodies and the land grabbing? Blanche reflects on her encounter with Mercedes and Presley, who fight against agro-industry multinationals that appropriate and devastate ancestral lands.
