BANANAS! is a documentary film about the disturbing global politics of the banana, the incredible gap between our world and what we call the third world, scientific choices, corporate behaviour, and about the very food we eat.

Rebeca Méndez is the creative director and designer of the visual identity for BANANAS!, and in particular responsible for the asterisk behind the title. See project HERE
