Produced by: the Mut Vitz Organic Coffee Cooperative
Distributed by: the Chiapas Media Project
This film looks at the lives and work of the organic coffee farmers of the Mut Vitz Coffee Collective. The Mut Vitz Cooperative began in 1996 and currently has more than 1000 members. The video was shot and digitally edited by two video makers who are members of the collective.
Over a year in the making, The Strength of the Indigenous People of Mut Vitz traces the entire organic coffee production process: from seedling to transplant, from cultivation to the roasted bean. The video shows us the challenges that the collective faces in processing their coffee for market and their achievements using a Fair Trade model of distribution.
Cloudforest Coffee--which is produced by the Mut Vitz collective--is also available through the Global Exchange web site!
