How a single bean is rewriting Ethiopia's economic narrative
In short: Beyond the headlines of drought and migration lies a story of transformation. This documentary explores how coffee—the crop first discovered in Ethiopia's highlands—is being used as a primary engine for rural development and community resilience.
The film follows Tristan Lecomte as he travels through spectacular landscapes, from remote villages in Oromia to thriving agricultural hubs. It highlights how coffee production and fair trade initiatives are moving beyond simple farming to provide essential infrastructure like schools, roads, and clean water.
By strengthening rural economies, these cooperatives offer a pathway for families to build a better future. The narrative positions coffee not just as a global commodity, but as a vital source of opportunity and human resilience in one of Africa's most beautiful countries.
