MILAN, Italy – #CoffeePeople documentary, “From Beans to Brew: A Journey into the Lives of Coffee Workers,” will be screened in Brussels and Copenhagen later this month. The documentary offers a deep dive into the lives of coffee growers from Brazil, Uganda, and Vietnam, featuring insights from the ILO, the International Coffee Organization (ICO), and the European Commission (EC).
“From Beans to Brew” explores the complexities of the coffee industry, the challenges to achieving decent work, and how collective action and social dialogue is needed to address these issues. This film is a key part of our #CoffeePeople campaign, which has already reached over 25 million people in more than 50 countries.
