Is your coffee building Trump's wall? Part 3: Requiem for a Coffee Republic

26 minutes

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 3, we discover what it takes to almost kill coffee completely.
