The Pickers + Q&ACert-TBC

Directed by lke Sasse | Italy/Greece/Spain/Nepal/Portugal | 2024 | 1h 20m

Seydou from Mali is picking oranges in Southern Italy. He has no contract and is paid per crate – as all the other pickers are. He lives in a self-built hut in a settlement without water and electricity. The Pickers reveals the European fields where our fruit and vegetables are grown. Blueberries in Portugal, olives in Greece, strawberries in Spain – 1 million migrants are harvesting in Europe. They are the mobile working force, that fill our baskets in the supermarkets. Exploitation in supply chains like chocolate or coffee is a well-known issue, but this documentary shows how our daily fruit and veg is also rooted in exploitation.

But there might be a way out of the system: Pape from Senegal is producing fair oranges in southern Italy. Could this become the new way?

Screening followed by a Q&A with Oranges for Justice.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
