Abstract
This film investigates the world’s reliance on a single banana: the Cavendish. Through interviews with a leading Professor and a grocery store manager, we trace how this one variety came to dominate global markets and why consumers rarely see anything else. The film examines the hidden risks of depending on a single crop — from disease threats to fragile supply chains — and asks whether a more diverse banana future is Possible. We close by exploring what it would take to bring new varieties to farms, stores, and everyday shoppers.
