Fairtrade International docuseries screening - “Farmers”
A screening of fairtrade international’s multi-award winning docuseries following the lives of three farmers from Indonesia, Peru, and Kenya. Each episode is around fifteen minutes long, with three total episodes for each of the protagonists. We will hold a short guided discussion session after the screening, and look forward to seeing you there!
Released in 2021, Fairtrade International’s docuseries on fairtrade farmers won awards at the Swedish, Luleå, and London International Film Festivals. Split into three parts, each follows a farmer facing challenges of their own.
The programme for the screenings will go as follows:
17.15-18: Ponisih, Indonesia. Ponisih is a coconut sugar farmer, who after moving back from the city has built a life following in the footsteps of her ancestors. Her children are beginning to make their own decisions about their future: city or countryside?
Short Break
18.15-19: Caroline, Kenya. Caroline and her husband Nahashon are coffee farmers. Caroline takes part in the Women in Coffee initiative. Through Women in Coffee and the support of her husband, Caroline gains self-confidence and strength.
Short Break
19.15-20: Roberto, Peru. Roberto is a banana farmer, family man and a strong voice for his community. The future for Roberto and his family is uncertain, as the cultivation of high-quality organic bananas is not adequately paid.
20.00-20.30: Guided Discussion
The screening is open to everyone of all ages, and will be run in English. We will provide fika!
