CNN report about the coffee trade and the documentary Black Gold. Report includes interview with film directors Marc and Nick Francis and a statement from Starbucks. Black Gold follows an Ethiopian coffee producer's epic journey around the world as he attempts to get a fair price for his high quality coffee. The film highlights that the solution for Africa is in equitable TRADE and NOT AID. Starbucks declined to take part in the film and when it was released worldwide they issued statements to the media saying that the filmmakers "missed an opportunity" to show the efforts of companies trying to address these issues.

is there any multinational fastfood or beverage cooperation that hasn't benefited from the hardships of the rest of the world? I think not...in economics, it is called opportunity cost...the cost of consumer happiness and excessive profits to the company obviously yields a forgone alternative being keeping the rest of the world happy and less enslaved to the demands of 1st world nations...it should be of no surprise to anyone really.
