The world's most consumed fruit has an untold story. The industrialization of the humble tomato preceded the globalized economy that was to follow. It is now as much of a commodity as wheat, rice, or petrol. Today, wherever you are in the world, you can eat the same tomatoes. This film traces the journey of tomato paste from Africa, Italy, China and America to show the consequences of this global business.
