Oro negro (2006)

Black Gold

Las multinacionales de café controlan una industria que factura más de 80 billones de dólares anuales, convirtiéndolo en el producto más valioso tras el petróleo. Pero mientras sube el precio del capuchino, baja el pago a los campesinos que lo cultivan y muchos deben abandonar sus cosechas. Esto es notable sobretodo en Etiopía.

Curiosidades

Black Gold is a 2006 documentary film that follows the efforts of an Ethiopian coffee union manager as he travels the world to obtain a better price for his workers' coffee beans. The film was directed and produced by Marc James Francis and Nick Francis from Speakit Films, and co-produced by Christopher Hird. It premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.

Production

In July 2003, Nick Francis and Marc James Francis travelled to Ethiopia and started making the film. The meeting with Tadesse Meskela, the manager of Oromia Coffee Farmers Co-operative Union, was a decisive moment in the production of the film.

After the first shoot in Ethiopia, the crew flew to Cancun to document the meetings of the World Trade Organization, where pivotal decisions that affect Africa's economy and development were being made in setting the trade rules and where the struggle for fairer international trade rules was played out.

Although Starbucks, Sara Lee, Procter & Gamble, Kraft, and Nestlé—the world's largest sellers of coffee—are mentioned in the film, all five companies declined invitations to be interviewed for the film. By the end of 2005, the final cut of Black Gold was done and officially premiered during the 2006's edition of Sundance Film Festival.
