Strawberry Fields points out that strawberries grown in Gaza are the only agricultural product marketed internationally as being of Palestinian origin. One of the major Gaza strawberry farms in located at Beit Lahiya. More than 1,500 tons of strawberries are exported from Gaza to Europe through the Israeli company Agrexco. In order to get overseas, however, the fruits need to pass through the checkpoint that separates Israel and Gaza. The 2005–2006 growing season coincided with the Israel's disengagement from Gaza and the rise of Hamas as the ruling political entity. The armed conflict between Israel and Hamas resulted in the closing of the border checkpoint. The strawberries grown at Beit Lahiya cannot leave Gaza, resulting in significant losses for the farmers and their Agrexco partners. Unable to transport their produce, the farmers have no choice but to dispose of their crop and prepare for the following year’s growing season.

La dette des gouvernements, des entreprises et des ménages a atteint des proportions astronomiques : Comment l'expliquer ? Comment en est-on arrivé là ? D'où vient tout cet argent ? Comment peut-il y avoir autant d'argent à prêter ? La réponse est... qu'il n'y en a pas. De nos jours l'argent est fait de dette. S'il n'y avait pas de dette, il n'y aurait pas d'argent. Si tout ceci vous laisse perplexe, rassurez-vous, très peu de gens comprennent ce système, même si nous sommes tous touchés. Ce long métrage d'animation, dynamique, pédagogique et divertissant va vous expliquer, de manière compréhensible par tous, les effets magiques et pervers du système actuel d'argent-dette. Un film indispensable pour comprendre les origines de la crise mondiale !
