Just one of the many far-reaching impacts of the slave trade on human history is on agriculture and horticulture. While the French plantation owners on the Caribbean island of Martinique had their gardens laid out in Versailles style, their enslaved workers continued their tradition of using medicinal wild herbs, which grew in hedges on the periphery of the “habitations.” The plants were known as rimèd razie, or “hedge remedies.”
Nowadays these herbs represent one of several resources through which the people of Martinique counter the health and ecological ravage caused by the use of pesticides on the banana plantations, which cover a quarter of the land. Another form of resistance is being led by farmers who are reclaiming uncultivated lands to grow indigenous vegetables, guided by expert local knowledge and without any industrial pesticides.
While pruning, chopping and harvesting the plants, local farmers explain, with extensive historic knowledge of the post-colonial era, how difficult it is to preserve biodiversity. These lively interviews alternate with more poetic and tranquil scenes of the island’s lush greenery, and of the cause of the problems: the dangling bunches of bananas, wrapped in plastic.

That movie is typical of the type of film uploaded to CinemaGeddon. In fact, it's there as an Xvid, an x264 and a DVD-R!
I saw the trailer, it looks like a real good stinker! haha
Hey! Don't knock
Hey! Don't knock aesthetically phit looking, highly conscious French alien humanoids with a message for the plebs... :-p :-)

PLEASE assist seeding this my Commonwealth friend... :-o - I see only 2 snail like seeding sources at present... our network speed in rurual parts of England is crap enough as it is when trying to grab the occasional new or ignored media gem in this area....

I miss the internet I had in Thailand.
100x the speed than here in the Cotswolds.
Wow - see - you can backup
Wow - see - you can backup the point I made to the site admin here a few weeks back when the size of my 'ratio' was discussed :-) [actually quite legitimately given the context of the discussion] - where I reported about maggie Thatcher's silly assumption in the mid 1990s that this "TinTernet Fing" was a passing fad - hence she ONLY allowed hi capacity fibre under the UK canal network etc - not a proper roll-out as we soon required....
Anyway - i'm sure you value living in a nice area such as the English Cotswolds on your return from living abroad?? But I aagree - the net speeds can be shite. I'm stuck with two lots of mobile internet in my area.... but that's a longer story of high strangeness.
I do remember that.
I personally delivered 5000+ leaflets to get BT to bring broadband to our little town circa 2003 or so.

I've just skimmed this in VLC - [Again - I mean the linked, French, weird but ground-breaking contact type film!!] GREAT find I'd seen a decade or two back but forgotten about... :-)
But what's great is that a few of us up here in Northern England run a monthly Contact/UFO RARE film night - and this can be one on a forthcoming event in my opinion...
Anyone who is in the area and wants further details - buzz me here via the DM system...
Hail Eris.

wow and you didn't even watch it yet?
There is something about this movie that makes people want to do that.
I have held a film showing of it myself, had about 30 people in a hippy cafe watching it.
I saw it many years ago....
I saw it many years ago....
there's another similar film about a dude that died and ended up in a strange, EDEN like reality - it wasn'y so much ET themed but 'death shift reboot' if that makes sense..
Anyone know the film from my bad description - pls post :-)
hmm
The Astral City?
well done :-)
I believe it is :-o
