Black Gold - a documentary on the coffee industry
There’s a new documentary out called “Black Gold“, which looks at the Western coffee culture. One where people are spending $3-4 for an espresso drink, yet where the farmers producing the beans are being paid incredibly little for the black gold they produce. There’s already a movement to help address this, and that’s known as Fair Trade Coffee - which basically ensures that a fair price was paid for those beans ($1.26/lb for conventionally grown, $1.41/lb for organic). I haven’t seen this movie yet, but it sounds like something every coffee drinker should watch. You can find out more at the movie’s official website or see the schedule of screenings here.
