Getting the US to invade Hawaii, exploiting foreign workers, pesticide lawsuits... Dole Food, Inc. has quite a checkered past and present. Imagine my surprise at how hard they worked (and to some degree successfully) in preventing this independent film expose from getting widely viewed. The website has a lot of very interesting information, facts, and a timeline, of sorts, of how Dole has been attacking the producter(s) of the film.
Here's the trailer:

Here's a link to the website. Know where your food comes from and boycott companies like Dole until they clean up their act. Apparently, in June (last month) Dole was seeking a postponement of the trial (suit and countersuit?) over the film itself and what Dole did to try and keep it from being seen widely.
