By the way:

Please CALL AHEAD to your local food banks, ask them what they need most, ask what they have too much of, ask what they can’t take right now, and ask what’s the best time/place/way to give your donations.

Food banks lose an IMMENSE amount of time and money to people treating them as…
the stove touching will continue until <redacted>

get your food bank donations ready

The crowds in this movie are very much the Greek chorus. #folkhorrorfriday

this might be a stretch but this film is using ambient sound in a way that reminds me of ZONE OF INTEREST, but for a very different effect

my Latin American history professor handed us bananas at the start of class the day he gave a lecture on the origins of the Guatemalan Genocide, then ended class by saying "enjoy your bananas" which is why this info is so ingrained in my brain

as early as 1954 when the CIA was a baby org headed by Allen Dulles, whose brother was also involved in United Fruit (now Chiquita) which had massive banana plantations that a newly elected leader wanted more rural poor to be able to use

This movie is essentially fiction, but rooted in fact as a present day Guatemala was trying to deal with how to go on after decades of "Guatemalan Genocide".
If you're wondering if the CIA played a role in starting it - absolutely they did. #folkhorrorfriday
