The Pickers The Pickers

The film takes us to fields across Europe growing our fruit and vegetables. Seydou, from Mali, picks oranges in southern Italy. He has no contract and is paid by the crate, living in a hut he built himself in a settlement without water or electricity… Blueberries in Portugal, olives in Greece, strawberries in Spain—over two million migrant workers labour across Europe’s fields, most without contracts and earning minimum wage, some undocumented and deep in debt with agents.

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
