Black Gold – A Documentay About Coffee

admin — Thu, 21 May 2009 13:47:28 +0000

Ever been astounded by the number of coffee shops on any given high street? As a society we seem to have acquired an insatiable thrist for coffee in all its wonderful forms with many coffee chains making obscene amounts of money from our caffeine addiction.

Multinational coffee companies such as Starbucks now rule our highstreets and shopping malls using sometimes dubious marketing stategies to dominate this $80 billion industry. After oil, coffee is the most valuable trading commodity on planet earth.

While consumers in the so called developed world continue to pay through the nose for their favorite espresso based drink, the farmers in the coffee growing nations receive such miserly renumeration for their efforts that many are being forced to abandon their coffee fields.

Black Gold is a riveting documentary which follows Tedesse Maskela of the Oromia Coffee Growers Cooperative as he travels the world struggling to get farmers a fair price for the beans they grow.

The movie demostrates the huge amount of power wielded by the multinational players that dominate the world’s coffee trade. Commodity traders, the International coffee exchanges and the dealings of ministers at the World Trade Organisation reveal the challenges faced in the quest for a long-term solution for farmers.

admin — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:15:03 +0000

In America’s earliest days, there were barn-raising parties in which neighbors helped each other build up their farms. Today, in some churches, there are debt liquidation revivals in which parishioners chip in to free each other from growing credit card debts that are driving American families to bankruptcy and desperation.

IN DEBT WE TRUST shows how the mall replaced the factory as America’s dominant economic engine and how big banks and credit card companies buy our Congress and drive us into what a former major bank economist calls modern serfdom.

America: Freedom to Fascism

admin — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 20:52:00 +0000

From the Films official website:
“Determined to find the law that requires American citizens to pay income tax, producer Aaron Russo (“The Rose,” “Trading Places”) set out on a journey to find the evidence. This film which is neither left, nor right-wing is a startling examination of government. It exposes the systematic erosion of civil liberties in America since 1913 when the Federal Reserve system was fraudulently created. Through interviews with U.S. Congressmen, a former IRS Commissioner, former IRS and FBI agents and tax attorneys and authors, Russo connects the dots between money creation, federal income tax, and the national identity card which becomes law in May 2008. This ID card will use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips which are essentially homing devices used to track people. This film shows in great detail and undeniable facts that America is moving headlong into a fascist police state. Wake up!”
