COMING SOON Coffee Trade Route

The extraordinary story of Ethiopia’s coffee’s history from a humble tree nestled away in Bonga, to the vital role it plays today coursing through the veins of home country's culture and economy, is a story that has yet to be done justice in documentary form. A surprising fact in itself considering the ubiquity of the drink on breakfast tables around the globe, and the love that coffee elicits from even the most casual drinkers. A fact that becomes ever more surprising when peeling off the husk of this story; unveiling the true unfulfilled, cinematic potential of this most extraordinary plant. Its early history and place in the past, present and future of Ethiopian society reveals a story replete with mystery, tradition, contradiction, and challenges in one of the most diverse, complex and beautiful countries in the world.
