... and don't buy any coffee from Ethiopia that's for sure!

'don't buy any coffee from Ethiopia' - Black Gold does not advocate a boycott of this kind. Perhaps we could debate what you meant in your comment on the Black Gold forum (please visit our site).

we could simply pay a little more for our coffee and those peolpe wouldn't need to grow narcotics and turn to piracy...very touching film!

[bermewjan77]

It's great that someone has finally made a movie about this trade so that the public can see for themselves what is REALLY happening out there.

Buy Fair Trade!

Watched this yesterday, shit pissed me off

Fuck the WTO for not giving Africans a voice

[roxette521]

We don't have to spend more, a few people just have to make less and WTO needs to stop being unfair. Fair trade coffee is not that expensive when you contract directly with the growers, and if enough roasters do that then the market price will change naturally.

You could also drop the 90% inflation tax on fossil fuels and the entire planet would be in a complete economic boom

What goes into that cup of coffee you just have to have from Starbucks.

[plunky14]

it's not that we have to pay more for our coffee, we are already paying enough for our coffee. those ppl depend on trading their cocoa beans for their economy and the workers are getting paid $1 per day for working 8 hard hrs. they are trading four cents per kilogram and one kilogram makes eight cups of coffee in NA which we pay two to three dollars for. IS IT NOT CLEAR ENOUGH THAT THOSE PPL ARE BEING TAKING ADVANTAGE OF??

@ukredbeard no but i seen many documentaries one in particular about water as they control almost all african governments they imposed on them to "sell" their unilities this woman born 200M from the Gongo river had to pay half her crops earnings to the BA "WORLD BANK" or she was Not allowed to take water to water her crops then of course thise leexhes turn rund n said blacks are not able to govern themselfs the biggest signle loss of life since WW2 Gongo over 6M dead reported? Not on u r life
