THE ROAD TO PINEAPPLE, created and narrated by filmmaker, WITNESS partner, and indigenous rights activist Joey Lozano on the impact on the indigenous T'boli people of for-export pineapple growing in the Philippines, promoted by USAID. It includes commentary by native T'boli people who were encouraged to plant pineapple crops to stimulate economic development and exports. Although the export plan was meant to benefit the T'boli people, it was undertaken without their consent and has damaged other crops. These people are now struggling to regain control of their crop production and dealing with the negative effects the pineapple industry had on them.
