The devil's avocado

The Devil's Avocado is a short feature film that portrays the impact of three generations of entrepreneurs' business practices on the climate and local communities. The film helps economics teachers spark discussion in the classroom. It invites naming the dilemmas so that we start working step by step toward a sustainable commercial mindset rather than ad hoc sustainable activities or strategies.
