BS the west is responsible! We have embraced capitalism and it has made us the most properous nation in the world. The problem is the oppressive government in Ethiopia and oversupply caused by too many farmers entering the coffee business. Supply and demand always win in economics. Don’t blame our country’s prosperity until you are ready to sell your home and your car and give it to an African coffee farmer.

How much of the Ethiopian population knows they’re being exploited? There’s a low literacy rate and 16% of the population is urbanized. I mean, how do Ethiopians get their news when government is so oppressive on media?

It is important to note that this film was conceived and produced during the height of the coffee crisis of the early 2000s; in fact, as the filming was wrapping up, the global markets were on an upswing, and by the time the film was released, the C market price was nearing Fair Trade’s set pricing.

mainly led by World Bank and WTO who says they help the poor. Instead by their financial power tricks they keep them down, just like in the colonial times 100 years ago. Same thing *im sad*
