The PickersDOK.fest München
This event is in the past.
We can enjoy fruit and vegetables of all kinds year round. But what this means for the workers who harvest them are conveniently ignored, their picking speed being set greater store by than their living conditions. It quickly becomes clear that Europe is dictated to by the market and not by the people. In The Pickers, the camera reveals endless swathes of farmland and the people who suffer for our luxury. Guest: director Elke Sasse
