SYNOPSIS:
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.

This  film  will  trace  the  journey  of  tomato  paste  from  Africa,  Italy,  China  and  America  to  show  the  consequences  of  this  global  business.
