More than 1 million migrant workers harvest fruit and vegetables in the fields of Europe for the European supermarkets. Most of them work and live in precarious conditions. The film shows these conditions and tells the stories of Seydou, Bahija, Avinash, Kirti, Naveed, Adil and Pape.
What we see gives what we eat every day a bitter taste: our daily fruit and vegetables are rooted in a system of exploitation.
No way out of this system? There is: Pape from Senegal produces fair oranges in southern Italy.
The film is shown by the SolRosa association, a solidarity consumer association that organises collective orders for these fair oranges from southern Italy.
