Nicaragua: deadly sugar cane

Follow
Investigations

In Chichigalpa, Nicaragua, there is a massacre: many men between the ages of 20 and 40, working for the rum manufacturer Flor de Cana, die of chronic kidney failure. José, the village undertaker, has already buried half of his friends. Like Antonio, Walter and Lewis, the victims have all been sugar cane cutters for years.
Convinced that the pesticides used in the sugar cane fields are responsible for their ills, sick people and widows wage a merciless battle against the employer, Pellas.
This rum manufacturer, known worldwide for its brand, Flor de Cana, refuses any communication on the products used in its sugar cane fields and takes refuge behind the lack of scientific data establishing a link between pesticides and chronic kidney failure.

Director: Mélanie Nunes and Julie Darde
