Films That Matter presents - Buyer Be Fair January 15, 2008

Imago & Cincinnati Earth Institute present the first of their winter film series at Rohs Street.

Buyer Be Fair looks at two major trade goods, timber and coffee, to find out how certification works and whether it helps the world's poor and its lands. Can the lessons from certification of timber, by the Forest Stewardship Council and coffee, by Fair Trade, be applied to other products? Buyer Be Fair takes viewers to Mexico, the Netherlands, the UK, Sweden, the US and Canada where compelling stories and characters raise and answer these questions in a powerful documentary that explores new ways to make globalization work for all of us.
