Crops and Robbers

World hunger: this partly animated film points out the connections between surplus and famine. It shows a game of chance being played across continents and down the centuries. Meanwhile, a young shop assistant in a supermarket demonstrates the links between past and present, international and local events. A trip round the world offers a fresh insight into the use of food as a commodity and as a weapon, and into what we can do about it.
