This documentary is a must see for anyone who truly cares about their cup of coffee. Together with Utz Kapeh, Fair Trade and consumers, we can end the international coffee crisis but it begins with education and informed purchasing. www.blackgoldmovie.com

I'm glad you posted this! This is an excellent film that really highlights the problems that some coffee farmers face. It should make anybody who drinks Starbucks pause and look for an alternative. People like Nossa are wonderful for connecting us to the farm and allowing us access to a process most people just take for granted. Go see this film!
For those of you who are interested in the issue of Fair trade, there is a powerful documentary out called “Black Gold,” that documents the lives of Ethiopian coffee farmers and clearly demonstrates why all of us should be asking for Fair Trade coffee. The film was recently released in the theater but is now available to the public on DVD via California Newsreel. You can read more about the documentary or pick up a copy of it here at http://newsreel.org/
