Info

Synopsis

Producers synopsis
A Blooming
Business is a poetic documentary about people in Kenya who are imprisoned by
the power of the global flower industry. In 52 minutes the dilemmas of the
industry are painfully clear and there is only one conclusion possible: the
smell of the imported rose is not sweet but bitter.
The film combines pure
observation with direct comments of the main characters. The camera is absent
and present at the same time. With great humanism Van Zantvoort shows us a
different world where all human life is valuable.
