Campside Presents: Big Sugar

Campside is proud to present 12 part series from our friends at Weekday Fun Production in association with Imagine Audio and hosted by [Celeste Headlee] (https://celesteheadlee.com/) . Big Sugar takes you deep inside the secretive, multi-billion dollar sugar industry and the epic court battle that exposes how one of the world's most valuable and addictive substances is grown, cultivated and sold. Hear firsthand from the workers, lawyers and journalists exposing the lies, exploitation and ultimately the truth. We travel from the Oval Office to the nightclubs of Havana to the sugarcane fields of Florida. Big Sugar is a deep dive into the inner workings of the industry. This is a story of our time, an untold story that focuses on human rights, lobbying, nutrition and the environment. Join us every Tuesday as episodes are released.
