Black Gold: News from the source

Posted by Siel in boston, caffeine, fairtrade (Saturday July 15, 2006 at 10:26 pm)

One of the coolest things about hanging out at Equal Exchange’s summit: Meeting farmers and farmer reps from all over the world.

One of the farmer reps: Tadesse Meskela, the general manager of the Oromia Coffee Farmers’ Co-operative Union in Ethiopia and a star of sorts in the new fair trade film, Black Gold.

There he is to the left, with Jordan.

We peppered him with questions about Ethiopia and the making of Black Gold.

Then, cuz Tadesse had a copy, we watched the film earlier tonight!

A review to come –

Update, 7/18/06: Here’s the review :)
