Desc: La loi de la banane: Directed by Mathilde Damoisel. With Gaël Giraud, Geoffrey Jones, Cécile Renouard. In 19th century Central America, a few entrepreneurial cowboys built an empire that enslaved populations and corrupted governments for over 100 years. The United Fruit Company thrived on unregulated capitalism; this film tells its story and that of its pioneers who feared neither God nor Man, and managed to get away with murder.
