Movie: FROM THE GROUND UP BY SU FRIEDRICH DVD

With few words and no polemics, this DVD shows how an ordinary cup of coffee occupies center stage in the world economy. Traveling with the filmmaker from Guatemala to South Carolina to New York City and seeing each phase of coffee production unfold--the growing, picking, processing, distribution, brewing and selling--one comes to understand that most products we use have passed through the hands, and lives, of countless people in numerous countries. This film uses minimal narration and text because it primarily asks the viewer to observe and contemplate the chain of production, from a hillside in Guatemala covered with hundreds of coffee seedlings to a pushcart in Manhattan.
