CAFFEINATED (Santa Barbara international Film Festival Santa Barbara California USA 2015)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.6|5.0 Starsìììì 

Caffeinated—thorough documentation—tells an ample story about how coffee is made, grown, countries known for good coffee, coffee tasters, coffee roasters…a little of everything for persons who love coffee and would like to know more about the process that gets it to the table. Watch for Danny Glover’s thoughts about this drink. Great work for everyone involved in production.
