Store wars: When Wal-Mart Comes to Town focused on consumption in the U.S., and China Blue investigated the manufacturing of the clothes we all consume. Bitter Seeds looks at the raw materials. It goes to India and follows the farmers growing the cotton exported to China’s garment factories to be used for the clothes sold in the West. Each film explores a deeper layer of the production-consumption chain.

Mr. Peled’s persistence is rewarded by actual drama. Store Wars becomes a fascinating study in community action and a valuable reminder that people still can care enough about a place to fight for it. -
