    Now Available for Immidiate Download | Black Gold

    I have talked quite a bit on this blog about the film Black Gold - a film that released in 2006 about coffee trade's affects on coffee growers. It is a great film.

    Cafe Evoke Catering had the chance to participate in the screening of Black Gold in Bozeman, Montana while we were there. The Bozeman Film Festival put on the event and it was a great time for all I think. There was some cool news emailed to me today that I wanted to let everyone know about.

    Black Gold is available now for download! For a mere $1.99 - you can sit back and watch the film in it entirety.

    Thanks to Jaman.com, Black Gold is only a few clicks away. No waiting around for the DVD to come to you, no waiting for Netflix to send it your way, all you have to do is download it and watch it! Easy!

    If you sign up with the service now, you can actually watch your first movie free. Nice.

    Black Gold is available on DVD at the following stores online:
    Amazon
    California Newsreel
    Facets
    IndiePix Films

    This is a great film to spend some time watching. Yes, we can talk about the holes in the current Fair Trade program all day long. We can talk about how free trade is a better method for business. We can talk about all sorts of things back and forth but really what it comes down to is this:

    1. We only have one Fair Trade Program - we need to do what we can to help change it - not fight it!

    2. It is about people. Coffee is a relationship product whether you believe it or not. With 20 hands touching the product in this life cycling, how could it be different?

    3. You are going to get your coffee somewhere - why not support a company that takes care of it's growers?

    Talk to your local coffee retailer about where their coffee comes from. Be sure that it is coming from a social responsible roaster - one that either supports the Fair Trade Certified products or at the very least is transparent on where there product comes from and why they buy the way they do.

    Rent the film and watch it with you family. Your coffee will never taste the same again.
