Sanjay Rawal grew up in a tomato breeder family in California. He worked in international development for a significant amount of time before turning to documentary filmmaking. He is the director of Food Chains that premiered at the Berlin Film Festival (2014) and is the winner of the Doc Impact Award (2016). The film “reveals the human cost in our food supply and the complicity of large buyers of produce like fast food and supermarkets.” Through the depiction of the work of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) and their Fair Food Program the film has become part of a larger movement to ensure fair wages and protection from human rights violations for farmers.
