Bird Song and Coffee

2007 FESTIVAL
56 min.
Coffee drinkers will be astonished to learn how their morning cup is inextricably connected to families, farming communities, and entire ecosystems in coffee-growing regions like Costa Rica. The film features scientists, coffee lovers, bird lovers, and the coffee farmers themselves. We learn how their lives and ours are linked, economically and environmentally, and how our seemingly insignificant daily routines affect our world and our ecological future. Would you like your coffee black or green?
