Synopsis: In the backcountry of the Dominican Republic, poor cacao farmers have been fighting a losing battle with the global economy for as long as anyone can remember. The Loma Guacnojo cooperative has found a way to turn the system on its head.
Opinion:
This short film shows how farmers unite in a cooperative, and how the middlemen are cut out of the system so that the farmers directly benefit more. It's a great display of investing in small-scale food producers!
