黑金
Black Gold
这部纪录片2006年在圣丹斯电影节首映。片子以Tadesse Meskela为主线，记录了埃塞俄比亚咖农的日常与困境。跟随Tadesse的视角，我们能够得知数以万计的咖农的生活，也明白他为何执着于帮助咖农脱贫，寻找愿意以公平的价格收购咖啡豆的买家。就像这句话所说的：“只有消费者改变他们的行为，现有的不公平的经济结构才会改变”。
This documentary premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2006. It features the story of Tadesse Meskela, recording the daily life and plight of Ethiopian coffee farmers. Following Tadesse's lens, we get a glimpse of the lives of tens of thousands of coffee farmers and know more about his persistence in helping coffee farmers break the poverty pattern and looking for buyers who are willing to buy coffee beans at a fair trade price. One quote says it best: “Only when consumers change their behaviors will the existing unfair economic structure change.”
这部拍摄于十几年前的纪录片，着重讲整个产业链，在如今依然有着一定现实意义，作为消费者的我们，能够意识到，平时喝咖啡多花几毛钱，以及注意公平交易“Fair Trade Certified”的农产品,让农民得到公平的价格，也是我们对于可持续发展所能做的事情。当看完这部片子，再喝咖啡时，相信你会有不同的感觉。
Filmed more than a decade ago, this documentary that focuses on the entire industry chain stills carries certain significance today. As consumers, we should have the awareness that spending few more cents on a cup of coffee every time and choosing “Fair Trade Certified” farm goods that guarantee fair prices for farmers are the least we can do for sustainable development. Next time you simmer on a cup of coffee, the memories from this film might make a subtle difference in your experience.
走进工厂：咖啡
Inside the Factory: Coffee
这一部其实是BBC推出的专题纪录片中的其中一部，主线聚焦在雀巢速溶咖啡工厂，两条副线则分别是围绕咖啡厅的烘焙豆子，以及当我们戒掉咖啡后，身体会产生哪些变化。另一条展示了历史与当代的咖啡种植状况。通过不同场景，能够了解到咖啡的不同面向。以及许多的工厂冷知识，比如速溶咖啡瓶口的那圈密封纸，其实是隔着瓶盖完成粘合的。在纪录片中，你也能感受到咖啡文化的科普，原来起初，咖啡在英国的流行只是为了替代令人上头的啤酒。相信看完之后，你对咖啡也有更深的了解。
This is actually one of the many feature documentaries by BBC. The main thread focuses on Nestlé’s instant coffee factory while the sub-threads feature roasted beans in the coffee shops, how our bodies change when we quit coffee, and the historical and contemporary status quo of coffee planting. Through different scenarios, we learn different aspects of coffee and lots of coffee trivia. For example, the sealing paper on the opening of the instant coffee bottle is in fact glued on from outside the bottle cap. You may also learn something new about coffee culture, for example, the rising popularity of coffee in the UK, in the beginning, was only to replace beer – it goes to your head easily. No doubt you’d gain a deeper understanding of coffee after watching it.
