DESCRIPTION:
The Global Banquet: the Politics of Food (2003, 60 minutes)

The Global Banquet explores the politics that threaten global food security, and demonstrates the destructive aspects of the corporate globalization of food. It shows how a handful of powerful corporations control the world?s food system, endangering the livelihoods of small farmers in the U.S. and developing countries. It examines how corporate globalization of food supplies is contributing to mounting hunger worldwide, despite an overabundance of food. Produced by the Maryknoll Sisters, the perspectives of farmers, indigenous people, environmentalists, church groups and students working to change unjust free trade policies are all included in the documentary.

also showing Santiago's Story (1999, 16 minutes)

"Santiago's Story" is a documentary about the dramatic changes Fair Trade has brought to the lives of a coffee farmer and his family in the mountains of Nicaragua. Like most coffee growers, Santiago Rivera and his family have been poor all their lives. Preyed upon by coffee middlemen, or coyotes, Santiago could never earn enough from his harvest to rise up out of poverty. But when Rivera joined a cooperative of small growers who export their coffee to the Fair Trade market, things began to change. The success stories of Fair Trade unfold - a better diet, a new mule, new farm equipment, schooling for his children: these are all now within the Rivera's reach. "Santiago's Story" is the story of over 500,000 small farmers all over the world who have turned to Fair Trade for a decent living wage. The film shows us the tremendous impact we can have in the lives of people like Santiago when we choose to buy Fair Trade coffee.
