COFFEE DEFENDERS: A PATH FROM COCA TO COFFEE (Internet Release USA 2020)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.5|5.0 Starsììì

Coffee Defenders: from Coca to Coffee—short documentary film—renders a small history of Columbia’s plantation owners’ challenges. In a few minutes it works to detail about fifty years of war, growing coca, and growing coffee while mainly concentrating on the story of one woman’s empowerment to run her own plantation. At best, the film ends with a superficial covering of its material.

 Storyline

A plantation owner goes on a journey through Columbia to see how the country’s plantations are moving from growing coca to coffee.

Additional Thanks

Thank you to Director Oscar Ruiz Navia for directing effort. Additional characters/cast include: Alexandra Roca and Johana Romero.

 Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. The advantages of watching is that it takes little time to watch, and does show a bit of Columbian country.
