Black Gold

An enlightening, informative, in-depth, must-see documentary for coffee lovers that centers on Tadesse Meskela who manages the Oromia Coffee Farmers Co-operative Union that represents 74,000 poor farmers in Ethiopia, which is the largest coffee producer in Africa, as he diligently advocates through organizations such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) to radically improve the financial compensation for the severely under paid Ethiopian farmers and delves into the world of coffee from the beans in the field to the more than 2 billion cups brewed globally per day to the annual coffee trade shows and the barista championships (that is, coffee brewing competition).
