{Fair Trade Month Film Screening} Connected By Coffee
To celebrate Fair Trade Month, Four Corners, in collaboration with the Milwaukee Fair Trade Coalition, will be showing the newly released Connected By Coffee documentary! Following two North American coffee roasters on a journey through Central America, we hear stories from farmers that grow this coffee, we learn about their struggles, and discover how fair trade empowers small scale producers while changing lives and communities.
Four Corners is proud to sell Just Coffee products, one of the featured roasters in this film. Come and learn more about how your purchase of 100% fair trade coffee can make a huge difference in confronting the injustices of traditional global trade.
Read more about the film and view the trailer.
