The film follows Ethiopian coffee farmers as they fight for a fair price in the international trading system. It was produced in partnership with Christian Aid and shows why trade justice demands must be met if trade is to effectively reduce poverty.  

Ethiopia's ambassador to the UK, Berhanu Kebede, says: 'This powerful and timely film shows why the G8 countries need to reform trade relations with Africa.'
