Soy: In the Name of Progre$$| 39mins
Director: Todd Southgate | Producer: Greenpeace
Focus Years: 2006 | Country: Brazil
Synopsis:
A new “soy rush†has been kick-started, and large-scale farm producers from all over Brazil are flocking to the Amazon forest in hopes of striking it rich with this golden crop. Yet all this comes at a price. Communities – most often those found in the forest – are often violently expelled from their lands in the wake of this uncontrolled scramble to plant soy.
For Brazil, it’s all in the name of progress. Still, if you ask those whom have been chased from their lands and have seen first-hand the ecological wrath that has followed in the wake of soy in the region of Santarem, this new cash crop in the Amazon has brought nothing but destruction and misery.
