A Blooming Business

A poetic documentary about people in Kenya who are imprisoned by the power of the global flower industry.

A documentary about people in Kenya who are imprisoned by the global flower industry. The dilemmas of the industry become painfully clear and a dark world of oppression, sexual abuse and terrible working conditions unfolds. There is only one conclusion possible: the smell of the imported rose is not sweet, but bitter.

Directed by Ton Van Zantvoort
