4th Tuesday Film Series presents:
Black Gold
Coffee is surpassed only by oil as the most actively traded commodity in the world. But for every $3 cup of coffee sold in the US, a farmer receives only pennies. This film traces the path of your morning cup to farmers in Ethiopia who produce the beans. The film follows Tadesse Meskela, representative of the Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union in Southern Ethiopia, as he tries to get a living wage for the 70,000 Ethiopian coffee farmers he represents.

All films are free and open to the public.
