The four major international grain merchants "ABCD":
ADM (Archer Daniels Midland), Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus. These four major grain merchants currently monopolize 80% of the global grain trading volume. They control the world's food import and export, food manufacturing and packaging, and price setting. For their own interests, they are inextricably linked with the political blocs of various countries, and a close interest group has been formed.
A, called ADM... -

From child labor and sweatshops to other
In this film, a lot of child labor and sweatshops are discussed. At first glance, it is quite reasonable. If you think about it carefully, it may not be.
Judging from the Walmart sweatshop incident, it is indeed nonsense to say that Walmart has no responsibility for the sweatshop at all, but if the responsibility lies only with a company like Walmart or Nike, it would be too rash judgment. Think about why Wal-Mart or Nike keep setting up factories overseas in order to keep costs down,... -

1. The power of a family cannot compete with the power of an industry that spends $1.2 billion to promote products. Talk to them now, maintain good relationships with them when they are young, and wait for them to grow up. , They become your consumers. I don’t know if this is ethical. Our job is to sell products.
2. The principle of excess. Instill the concept of need and let them focus on unnecessary consumption, such as fashion consumption.
3. Hidden behind "legal... -

There is a lot of information that I haven’t heard before. Privatization develops fast, but too soon it will cause problems, and now the private ownership is approaching the extreme. At the same time, we have come from public ownership, and public ownership is not a solution to the problem. When I finally said that we have the ability to take control back from the big companies, I just thought, can we take it back? How to get it back? What should I do after taking it back? Human development has...

About the Water War: A Victory for the Poor
At ten o'clock in the morning, President Banzer imposed martial law on Bolivia. The protests have been going on for a week: strikes, traffic jams have brought the country to a complete standstill. The government had to back down, acceding to protesters' demands, to terminate the $2 million contract to sell the Cochabamba public water system to a foreign-invested company.
Citizens of Cochabamba demanded that Brecht, one of the foreign-invested companies, return the water system to the...

The two-and-a-half-hour documentary has been watched from the exam week until I watched it today..... Most of the time was spent on stating the unbearable side of the "enterprise", which was too left-handed and unfair. However, the cutting of each paragraph is well done, and it can be used as a ppt template. The scholars who appear in the story are all very fanciful, especially the Indian woman with a red mole between her eyebrows, very...

The idea of the structure, influence and social status of corporate (esp. MNC) is rooted in my mind by this film. But not a good film because it is not objective enough and not smart enough to provide a solutionable...

It is difficult for documentaries to maintain a neutral attitude. Because the director is outside the system. Outside of the system, we can all play the role of a good person. In an evil system, it is difficult for us to avoid becoming monsters. This is the power of...

It’s too long, and it’s almost enough to condense it to the first 70 minutes. Some of the latter examples are so extreme that the theme of the whole film is not very clear, but I really envy this spiral mode of continuous struggle and...

Richard Grossman: So we've got to undo a lot of things in order to be smart enough to do this really dangerous and risky and difficult work, you know, the best way that we possibly can. And that means coming together and learning a whole lot of stuff that we just don't know, that has been driven out of the culture, driven out of the society, driven out of our minds. That, to me, is the most exciting thing. That is happening, it's happening all over the world now.

Charles Kernaghan: Sometimes is surprises me how effective you can actually be. After we beat the Gap I walked past these Gap stores and I looked at them and I think, "My goodness, there's like 2,000 of these stores across the country. Look at all that concrete, look at the glass, look at all the staff people, look at all the clothing. Look at that power". You can still reach these companies. You can still have an effect.

Oscar Olivera: Small battles are being won around the world, but, I think people are losing. I do see the present and the future of our children as very dark. But I trust the people's capacity for reflection, rage and rebellion.
