Palm oil workers on plantations in North Sumatra, Indonesia, describe what it takes to organize a union under a government and ownership structure built to prevent one. The footage comes from the workers themselves, recorded as part of a collaboration between the Independent Plantation Workers' Union of Sumatra, the International Union of Food and Agricultural Workers, and the Vision Machine Film Project. Interviews trace the daily mechanics of plantation labor, low piece-rate wages, insecure contracts, and the retaliation that follows any talk of collective bargaining, then widen out to workers in Colombia and Holland describing comparable fights inside very different economies. The film uses these three settings to make a concrete argument about globalization: that multinational buyers and local elites both benefit from keeping labor organizing weak, and that workers comparing notes across borders is one of the few counters available to them. There is no outside narrator; the workers frame their own struggle, including the specific tactics that succeeded and the ones that got organizers fired. Made in 2002, it functions as a document produced by the union itself rather than about it.
