Film
The Inside Story
Wof Zerash – Sown by birds, this is the never-before told story of Arabica coffee told in a documentary that pulls no punches about the danger of climate change to the future of coffee itself.
It is authoritative and topical, with expert scientific analysis and personal accounts from Ethiopian coffee farmers, beekeepers and winners of the prestigious Cup of Excellence. Strategies are proposed for reversing the effects of climate change and methods examined for ensuring the continued quality and supply of Arabica coffee from Ethiopia.
The key to improving Arabica’s flavours, its yield, and its resistance to disease and climatic change lies in the untapped rich genetic diversity of wild Arabica coffee still to be found in Ethiopia. The forests of Kafa are the past, the present and the future of Arabica coffee.
