Prepare to never again pick up a takeaway coffee without guilt...or, preferably, to be educated on where you can buy caffeinated beverages that aren't the product of exploitation; the long-awaited, feature length expose on the coffee industry Black Gold will be hitting cinema screens from 8th June.
The film will powerfully put the case for Fairtrade, giving an insight into the conditions suffered by workers in the multi-billion dollar global industry. It follows the life of Ethiopian farmer Tadesse Meskela, as he struggles to save his 74,000 coffee workers from bankruptcy, and his quest to find buyers willing to pay a fair price.
