The luckiest nut in the world
About
A singing and dancing peanut offers a crash course in global economics in this educational animated short subject. Peanut voice of Jim Conway is a happy legume from a farm in Georgia, and over the course of eight minutes he explains why life is so much better for him than his cousins, the Groundnuts of Senegal. Senegal, a developing nation, was forced to borrow money to provide support its groundnut farmers, who needed better equipment in order to bring in better crops. Since groundnuts were Senegal's biggest export, it seemed like a wise investment, but when trade liberalization resulted in more nations growing groundnuts and a lower price to farmers in Senegal, the country slid into a massive debt that it is struggling to pay off.

The purpose behind making this film is interesting--how global economic policies might have negative unintended consequences for small and less advantaged countries. The problem is that this talking peanut yes, I talking and singing one at that is really, really dull and not especially inspiring. Release date August 30, United Kingdom. Fulcrum TV.

The end result is an amusing look at Trade Liberalisation and why it works for some countries but not for others. A nice try, but dry and dull and not especially inspiring.

For older audiences who could perhaps understand the topic, the presentation will probably turn them off since it looks like a film for young. Storyline Edit. Add content advisory.
