Just in...the screening is sold out. Awesome news...but also bad news, I forgot to make my reservation. Arghhhh!!!
The Place has been serving up Level Ground's Fair Trade Coffee for a number of years now, and seeing as how they have also started a great relationship with a community in Ethiopia, they thought you might be interested in knowing that The Ethical Purchasing Forum and Victoria's Open Cinema and have come together for a screening of Black Gold: A Look at Fair Trade and the Global Economy of Coffee on Tuesday February 20th at Herman's Jazz Club (map)...tonight at 7:00pm.
The film traces "the trade route of Ethiopian coffee beans through various middlemen to your friendly neighbourhood cafe or supermarket shelves, and drives home the human value of fair trade, " and the night will also feature a man familiar to the Place (he spoke at our last retreat after all!) Stacey Toews.
If you're interested in going, come early for food and conversation , as Herman's is open for dinner beforehand and it'd be fun to get a crowd down there early. Tix are between $5 and $10 and you can read more about the evening here.
