Some corrections. The Xiong Nu occupied Xinjiang earlier than the Uyghurs, by more than a millennium. That aside, Xinjiang is an autonomous region which means the leaders can only be Uyghurs, local police can only be Uyghurs no matter how many Han Chinese move there. Another correction, Uyghurs are still the majority in Xinjiang with one of the highest birthrate in China. The Uyghurs were also not subjected to the China's "one child policy" in the 80s imposed on the Hans. In China, no one is allowed to own land. But in these autonomous regions, the Uyghurs do. That's how repressive the Chinese central government is. lol! Chinese don't eat tomato sauce? Maybe not as much. But the word "ketsup" means tomato sauce in Chinese. Heinz first encountered the sweet tomato sauce in Malaysia and he asked the Cantonese chef (Southern Chinese) what it's called. And Heinz ketsup was born. It might still be available to fact check this in the Heinz website. Nice move on blaming the migrants to the Chinese companies. As if the Africans only grow tomatoes and nothing else. As if the wars sponsored by the western countries aren't the main cause.

Another example of why you should avoid any food product from China. The problem is, there is no requirement to label where ingredients come from in a product. This is why you can't really trust any foods you buy. There is always the incentive to cut costs by any means they can get away with, and that means getting ingredients from the cheapest suppliers.

well done , thanks for the great information

I'm from Moldova where a big part of the population is rural . In the countryside , everyone dwelled in subsistence farming be it fruits , vegetables , vineyards and of course livestock . Poor trade laws and corruption killed local agriculture in my country . What people grew in their gardens was for the most part organic and high quality but the imported stuff from Turkey (or elsewhere) would always undercut them for dirt cheap , making it impossible for small farmers to make any profit from their labour . I remember people throwing their beautiful perfect cabbages or watermelons because nobody wanted them for even half the price . You worked all year round , to basically not even be able to afford electricity and heating for when the winter came . Terrible . The vegatables and fruits back home literally would give off an aroma if you were as much as in the same room . The tomatoes had blemishes but the flavour and the scent is incomparable to anything you will ever taste . That's why I don't even eat tomatoes here except for cherry tomatoes which i tolerate . Of course I'm not speaking from nostalgia as my family routinely brings back veggies and fruits every summer . It can simply not compare and i think everyone should have the privilege to taste real food like this, hopefully one day .

You have to drive a good distance to get to his plant so its better to get a job close to home which pays better in the long run. Its to late to train people they are simply trading jobs between companies. Over the years the tomato processors have been riddled with scandals. Price fixing relableing product with lower mold content and Bribery. I was there when they raided SK Foods in Lemoore with AR 15 and riot gear. They took all the computers. And paper work. The owner got seven years. And two other companies got Three million dollar fines. Ingormar packing was one of them and Los Gatos tomato was the other. I can go on and on its a mess.

I lived in the SanJoaquin Valley for many years and remember when they were canning the tomatoes in the late summer/early fall. Tracy, Ca had the Heinz 57 factory and Oakdale had the Hunt's factory, or maybe it was the other way around. I grew up in the midwest and most of my family members were farmers. The government schemed to buy out the farmers and they made ways to put farmers in debt that was unable to be paid back. Bill Gates is one of them and has bought out hundreds of thousands of farm land that he can shut down. Their humanistic goal is to reduce population to 500 million which is about 94% less that the current population.

I live in Southern Ontario Canada and for a couple weeks during the Tomato harvest a section of the busiest highway in Canada the 401 turns red from all the Tomato trucks.

We don't need wars to kill humans..these ruthless industrialist are already doing good job of it..

Thank you for you bravery and stamina on this one.. Very informative (yet sad). I too will shop more wisely!!

Africa is not a country, it's a continent !

Thank You for opening my eyes to this atrocity. We grow and can all our own tomato products and have for years. Makes me sick to think of modern day slavery still occurs on a global scale!

Great discovery thanks to u the information chaina is in everything 😢

Excellent documentary

The tomato is believed to come from south america, but it was 1st brought to europe by the spaniards via the aztecs

The Aztecs lived right above there! The Spaniards traveled from southern North America to at least south of Peru! Not a big stretch!

Really it's amazing and mind blowing. Opens a different way of seeing businesses. Thanks for knowledgeable content.

This is Genius, work of art! Thank you for these great efforts spent on a beautiful documentary like this, keep it up!

This was really an eye opener, thank you

You should mention that it wasn't only Buffett who acquired Heinz - he did so in league with a Brazilian Company who did most of the closing and firing. I believe that the Brazilians were ultimately in charge of all of that - Buffett provided the $$$. It's still appalling to me how all of this has unfolded, how many good employees lost their jobs in the name of money. And I don't like to think that when I buy what I think are Italian tomato products, they ulitmately have come from China. Ugh!

I see they only make paste. The basic beginning. When it's shipped all over the world, it can be said that the end product is from that country. So as usual, greed will cause a ketchup famine.

Tomatoes are originally from Mexico and South America, not Italy. Just like noodles, tomatoes were imported to Italy, China, and the rest of the world. You are mad because it's from China? What about the taste and quality?

It's a bit of a worry, them adding soy meal and other additives but not listing on the ingredients. What about people with allergies?

This is a very eye opening documentary.

This was one of the most informative video documentaries I have ever seen

I watched an English Crunchie chocolate-bar making machine-operator in tears as he packed up his machine, ready for Cadbury to send it to Poland.

I live in Australia, I always buy Australian tinned tomatoes. They're a few cents more per can, and usually have a smaller section of the shelf-space than numerous brands of "Italian" tomatoes. But until the Australian supermarkets take the issue of modern slavery in the tomato industry seriously, I'm not going to knowingly buy something likely to have come from major exploitation / virtual-slavery. We abolished slavery centuries ago, we can't let complacency bring it back. And I have written to all the supermarket chains to raise the issue in case they were unaware. They all have policies supposedly to avoid supplying products of slave labour, but haven't caught onto the issue with "Italian tomatoes". I think more people need to write to their supermarkets so they know that it's an issue people care about. Supermarkets here do seem to act on social trends, but it needs to become a social trend, that more people insist on avoiding tomato products that may be a result of exploitative labour.

@@Karl-Benny yeah I heard that in the film, didn't actually sound that bad a wage depending on the cost of living in that area. If essentials like food and rent are cheaper in that region you'd probably be fine on that. There's much worse wages around the world. It's Italian grown tomatoes that I was aware of which had very questionable labour practices bordering on slavery or pretty severe exploitation. And the US definitely needs to pay its lowest-income workers more, that's another issue.

@@hellooutthere8956 in Australia there are country-of-origin labelling laws that get quite specific. Read about them here: business.gov.au/products-and-services/product-labelling/country-of-origin-food-labelling-resources#:~:text=These%20labels%20require%3A,ingredients%20(if%20not%20100%25) And it's common to see "Australian diced tomatoes", or "Italian diced tomatoes" as the actual name on the tin, you don't even need to read the fine print. But if you are actually asking can I TRUST those labels, well, I can't 100% of course. But it's reasonable to assume they're very likely accurate. A few points: Country of origin info is considered important info here, and Australians don't stand for being lied to. Any company exposed as intentionally misleading customers usually ends up with its reputation in tatters, sales plummeting. Australia is known to be less corrupt than many countries, most people follow the law, that includes those in companies. The public holds its authority figures to account. A robust free press would have a field day if any whistleblower announced they thought tomato companies were doing the dodgy about country of origin. Australian vs Italian tinned tomatoes, there's not much of a price difference, so there's not currently any huge incentive to try deceive consumers about place of origin. Italian tomatoes don't have the bad reputation they deserve, there's no disincentive to not label them correctly. Australia grows most of its own fresh produce and tomato growing and canning is definitely an industry here.

We didn't abolished slavery. We just deregulated it. When the cost of maintaining slaves were getting higher, and more policies favouring slaves welfare were approved, they just change the system to labour practice. Now, they don't have to provide food, shelter and clothes anymore, just wages, which can be supressed as time moves on. More profit, less wages. And we have a lot of universities churning out workers desperate for a job so there is endless supply of workers willing to work for peanuts. Genius move by capitalists.

Thank you for the enlightening documentary. Very, VERY illuminating. I've avoided ketchup all my life, It smells funny, and the HFCS doesn't help either. That said, General Liu is a force of nature.

Very well researched production very informative
