The Luckiest Nut in the World| 23mins
Director: Emily James | Producer: Emily James
Focus Years: 2002 | Country: United Kingdom
Synopsis:
The film follows an animated American peanut, who sings about the difficulties faced by nuts from developing countries. Supported by a mixture of animation, music, our American peanut takes the viewer through the stories of the cashew, brazil and ground nuts - all of whom suffer as world trade is liberalized. But it is a different story in America - where the peanut is protected by tariffs and heavily subsidized, and worth over four billion dollars a year to the American economy. Certainly the luckiest nut in the world. The film helps people to understand how the pressure to embrace “free market†economics, with the promise of a wealthy, abundant market place has actually driven many countries further into poverty.
