Following are the films in stock:
  • Black Gold
  • Buyer Be Fair
  • Coffee with the Taste of the Moon
  • Life and Debt

All films deal with the topic of fair trade and are a great way to get informed and introduce others to the subject. If you are interested in borrowing one or more of the films, please email nhftc@yahoo.com.
