I thought this list might be interested in a film that I'm doing a 
little post work for called COFFEE MOON.  There is a very rough trailer 
that the director put up at
coffeemoon.com

Love to see the whole film.
They're right that Sbucks paints the image that they are green friendly
and do a good job with that image. I've read or heard that they buy
tons and tons, of what's called ground coffee, the coffee that's
fallen off the trees, and they pay far less than fair trade, I probably  
read that
here. But anyway, after all the different issues of all the Latin American  
farmers,
poisoning the bananna farmers with banned chemical herb&pesticides, their  
land,
the different war/druglords, politics etc etc etc. It's time they got a  
fair shake.
I know we're going to support fair trade, organic, rain forest,  as much  
as we can and know our customers will too.
