Fair Trade- What is Fair Trade?

A short documentary on the Fair Trade Movement, designed to promote fair and equal wages and working conditions for workers around the world. The town of Ballston Spa, NY became an official Fair Trade Town in 2008, and the positive effects this has had are shown in this documentary, along with information on the movement in general. These Ballston Spa supporters promote Fair Trade either through product sales or education.

Special thanks to the Ballston Spa Fair Trade Commission for producing and helping out with this film.

Excuse me, thats your opion, which needs to be kept to yourself, if you cat hear very well- turn up the volume, its not boring maybe you just need to wake up a little more. i think this is a wonderful film and its an vey important cause. I go all the way for air Trade.

this is not good. this is y people don't know about fair trade. look at how little viewers. sound needs 2 be louder. video needs 2 be more interactive. if i send this video 2 people 2 watch, they would stop before halfway cuz it's so boring. i support fair trade, but i can't send this around. please make a better one.
