Film Description
The roses we enjoy may come with more thorns than we realize. Delving deep into the heart of the global flower industry, A Blooming Business shows us the difficult reality behind the pretty flowers. In Kenya, giant flower factories use massive amounts of pesticides and chemicals to keep their flowers alive and then pollute the local water supply, harming the very same people they employ. A revealing investigation into the horrific working conditions and sexual abuse that the workers must endure in order to keep their job. A Blooming Business explores the human and environmental repercussions of the floral industry.
A rose may no longer smell as sweet.
