appeared in the L.A Business Journal.
Within weeks, the filmmaker was
embroiled in a major legal and public
relations battle with Dole to save their
premiere, their film, their reputations, and
their freedom of speech.
Corporate efforts to censor criticism gain
startling immediacy as Gertten decides to
film the whole confrontation with Dole.
Eventually, he takes the offensive, filing a
countersuit and organizing a media
campaign of his own to challenge Dole's
tactics. The resulting film, BIG BOYS
GONE BANANAS!, is a dramatic
cautionary tale about corporate power and
press manipulation, a reminder of the
importance of independent film in today's
more timid media world, and a case study
of how individuals can fight back to protect
freedom of speech and encourage a truly
free press. The film would be useful in a
variety of classes, including journalism,
film, law, business, ethics and
environmental policy.
Reviews
"A provocative look at what can
happen when corporate power takes
aim at independent film. Documenting
the vigorous strategies employed by
the Dole Food Company to block the
release of his film Bananas!— the
Swedish filmmaker Fredrik Gertten
gains traction by taking the high
road." - New York Times
"~ Big Boys is an eye-opening look at the
way the U.S. media fell lockstep behind
Dole's claims. The film remains a chilling
look at the brave new field of strategic
communication, which employs not just
marketing experts but covert operatives to
protect brands. As one specialist observes,
we live in 'an era of extreme reputation
anxiety.'" - Los Angeles Times
"A David-and Goliath story that delves
into corporate scare tactics, legal
effrontery, brand protection, media
manipulation, online propagandizing
and craven behavior" - VARIETY

BUSINESS LAW
AMENDMENTS, THE
The U.S. Constitution is the world's oldest
written chart of government in continuous
effect. Much of the success of this
document can be attributed to the way the
Constitution has changed to meet the
needs of the American people. The
framers of the Constitution wisely
anticipated the need to make changes to
the Constitution as the world itself
changed. Since 1787 when the
Constitution was written, thousands of
proposed amendments have been
introduced in Congress. Only 27 of those
proposed amendments have been ratified.
These amendments tell some of the most
important stories in American political,
social and cultural history. This
presentation reveals an important chapter
in the ongoing history of the U.S.
Constitution.
