We’re teaming up with Films for Action to bring the award-winning documentary film Black Gold to Liberty Hall in downtown Lawrence at 7:00 pm tonight, May 19th.  The documentary takes a critical look at the current state of the global coffee trade and asks how Fair Trade ideas are affecting cooperatives in Ethiopia.  The cost is $3 and we will be providing free coffee from the Oromia cooperative in Ethiopia featured in the film along with some yummy Fair Trade snacks. Hope to see you there!
