Plots(1)

Every hour an area of rainforest the size of 300 football pitches is destroyed by palm oil producers, yet production volume increases annually. The situation is similar with other profitable crops. As a result, vast areas of agricultural land in Asia, Africa and even Europe fall into the hands of international investors. This film presents extensive testimony from many corners of the world about this business practice and the power of money, which prevails over the value of human life. Can EU lawmakers stop these practices? Or do their interests lie elsewhere? (One World)
