Meeting with the authors.
The world’s most consumed fruit has an untold story. The industrialization of the humble tomato preceded the globalized economy that was to follow. It is now as much of a commodity as wheat, rice, or petrol. The tomato’s ability to create strongly identifiable products, such as ketchup, pizza sauce, soups, sauces, drinks or frozen dishes is unbeatable.
Directors: Jean-Baptiste Malet at 28 years-old, is already the authors of two books and an investigative, full-length documentary film. His book about Amazon, In Amazonia – Undercover in the “best of worlds” (Fayard, 2013), was translated into Spanish and Italian, and is the winner of the High school award for economics and social sciences.
