Filter Stories - Coffee Documentaries
A podcast revealing the extraordinary stories hidden in your cup of coffee
Is your coffee building Trump's wall? Part 2: El Savage
You buying a coffee from El Salvador and Trump building a border wall have nothing in common.
Or do they?
Over five episodes, we explore a story of El Salvador. We confront massacres, wide inequality and the specialty coffee you drink today.
Buried deep in this story is a group of people our coffee dollars are neglecting across the world.
In Part 2, we reveal why our economist nicknames his own country "El Savage.”
