"The Price of Sugar" at Cine

I just added to the calendar an event happening tonight in Athens at Cine. Since the calendar still needs to be resized, I'm going to repeat the description here:

"We will also be pouring our Finca El Injerto for the first time. It's good! I've been drinking it all morning. Taste notes from this morning suggested hints of Spanish Red Wine and Meyer Lemon."--Benjamin Meyers, 1000Faces owner/roaster/hustler.

Here's Cine's description of the film:

1,000 FACES COFFEE hosts a special evening of coffee, brownies, and a screening of the documentary film THE PRICE OF SUGAR. In the Dominican Republic, a tropical island-nation, tourists flock to pristine beaches unaware that a few miles away thousands of dispossessed Haitians have toiled under armed-guard on plantations harvesting sugarcane, much of which ends up in U.S. kitchens. They work grueling hours and frequently lack decent housing, clean water, electricity, education or healthcare. Narrated by Paul Newman, the documentary follows Father Christopher Hartley, a charismatic Spanish priest, as he organizes some of this hemisphere's poorest people to fight for their basic human rights. This film raises key questions about where the products we consume originate and at what human cost they are produced.
