LOS ANGELES, CA, USA – Coffee Wars, a comedy feature film that shares a powerful message about embracing a dairy-free future to improve health of the planet while bringing attention to veganism, ethical consumerism, and female entrepreneurship, was released on March 21st, 2023, on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play.
The film stars vegan actress, feminist activist, and singer-songwriter, Kate Nash (Powder Room, GLOW), Derry Girls star Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Finding You, The Flash), British actor Toby Sebastian (Game of Thrones, The Music of Silence), and Welsh phenom Owain Arthur (Amazon’s Power of the Rings).
VegGood Films has shared that 100% of all proceeds from the film will be donated to environmental and animal welfare charities. Coffee Wars uses the lens of comedy to shine a light on the devastating environmental impacts of dairy products and elevate plant-based alternatives as tasty, more sustainable substitutions worthy of award-winning lattes.
“Coffee Wars brings pressing issues to a global audience in a laugh-out-loud comedic way,” said Kate Nash. “It invites viewers to challenge their beliefs about what it means to be an ethical consumer and the overall environmental impacts of their purchases.”
Coffee Wars follows coffee aficionado Jo (Kate Nash), who is doing her best to stay afloat running her own coffee shop alongside a band of unpredictable colleagues, while nothing seems to be going her way. She can make a latte better than anyone, but her customers have trouble getting past one thing: her coffee shop is vegan. Drowning in debt and with everything on the line, Jo and her team of misfits gear up as the underdogs for the World Barista Championships, where she’ll face her “full fat full cream” archrival Rudy (Toby Sebastian). Jo will finally have a chance to prove herself in the dairy-dominated world of coffee, and, most importantly, win a big cash prize.
The donation of the film’s proceeds will be made through Foam Capital Charitable Trust, which represents the film’s financiers.
“Our society simply cannot continue to consume planet-crippling dairy products, especially as plant-based alternatives, such as the ones featured in our film, are readily available, healthy for our bodies and the planet and, most importantly, delicious,” said Executive Producer Jay Karandikar of VegGood Films.
“We are 100% committed to this cause and are proud that our film’s proceeds will support organizations that are working to ensure the health and sustainability of the planet.”
