Black Gold Movie

We're happy to announce a join action between fairtrade.cz and the Prague Food Co-op which will take place next friday in

Muddum Art Centre, including a film screening of 'Black Gold' ('wake up and smell the coffee'), which rocked film festivals the

world this year as the official selection in Sundance Film Fest, London Film Fest, Seattle International Film Fest, Rio De Janeiro

International Film Fest, Melbourne International Film Fest. Click on the image above for a preview. Here are some reviews.

 

"BLACK GOLD is a moving and eye-opening look into the 80-billion-dollar global coffee industry, where the spoils of overpriced

lattes and cappuccinos are sparsely shared with the farmers who make it all possible." - Sundance Film Festival, 2006

"BLACK GOLD tells an unreselved modern version of the age-old David and Goliath story" Stephen Holden, New York Times.

"REMARKABLE - A moving but scandalous story. Black Gold has extraordinary power.' David Gritten, Daily Telegraph.

"It threatens to do for the multibillion-pound coffee industry what Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me did for fast food:

Shock consumers into thinking about what they are buying..." Ben Hoyle, The Times (London).

"VISUALLY RAVISHING...the Francis' are aces behind the camera" Robert Koehler, Variety

"Scathing, Vivid & Galvanizing" Time Out, New York



The fairtrade and food coop night is a great way to find out about getting ethical, healthy (and great tasting)

food and produce, as well as finding out about environmentally and socially sustainable alternatives to the industrial

agriculture/multinational supermarkets system which as well as being environmentally and socially destructive in the 'third'

world is having a devastating effect on small local family farmers in Europe too, and adding massively to global climate change

problems through millions of totally unecessary 'food miles'. There will also be a chance to buy fairtrade goods (such as

tea, coffee, chocolate) and find out about the Prague Food Coop and how to join.

 

Evening Programme:

-Introduction to fairtrade, the idea behind it, where you can get it, and the centre at NOD/Roxy.

-Fairtrade materials available and the chance to buy fairtrade goods.

-Fairtrade FILM 'Black Gold' (see above or click the film preview.)

-Discussion about the film, the fairtrade idea, and examples of practical ways it is helping people,

-Introduction to the Prague Food Coop, our motivations (environmental, social, health)

and a chance for you to ask questions about it and how to join.

-Ideas for possible future cooperation between fairtrade.cz and the Prague Coop.

-Discuss future ideas eg for similar events or other plans.

-Meeting of the Prague Coop to discuss the future.
