Rising food prices have been fueling unrest worldwide, and Tunisian protesters famously attacked riot police with baguettes at the start of the Arab Spring. Director Kees Brouwer sets out to test what is actually driving those price spikes: genuine scarcity, or financial speculators chasing quick profit in commodity markets. Rather than just interviewing traders, Brouwer plays speculator himself, buying into food futures to see from the inside how the market works and what his own money does once it enters that system. The film follows him from the trading floor of the Chicago Stock Exchange, where abstract contracts on wheat and grain get bought and sold in seconds, to the streets of Tunisia, where the consequences of those price movements show up as bread queues and anger. Co-director Maren Merckx and researcher Gerko Wessel help track the chain connecting a Chicago trade to a Tunisian dinner table. The film does not resolve the debate cleanly, leaving Brouwer, and the viewer, to weigh whether he is an opportunist or complicit in hardship he never has to see.
