From raids to rescues, a slave labor survivor shines a light-weight on the exploitation of Brazilian espresso farm staff.
Jorge Ferreira’s life is formed by the espresso farms surrounding his hometown in Brazil, the world’s main espresso producer. As a younger man, he harvested crops in Minas Gerais and by no means forgot the exhaustion, threats and unpaid work he skilled. Greater than 30 years later, Jorge is preventing for labor rights in the identical space the place he confronted inhumane situations. Because the espresso harvest begins, Jorge works with the authorities to free staff from the slave-like situations prevalent within the espresso trade.
“The Human Price of Espresso” is a movie directed by Joanna Moncaut and Rodrigo Hernandez.
