About the film:
Many people take vanilla for granted, but this difficult and dangerous crop is a lifeline out of poverty for women farmers in Madagascar. Voice of Vanilla is a documentary film that examines whether these women will be able to withstand the forces that threaten their livelihoods?
We are an international team of filmmakers, journalists, scientists, and artists with decades of storytelling experience. Our goal is to uncover the forces preying upon vulnerable farmers so that you can be certain the food you buy contributes to a fair, healthy, and equitable planet.
