Black Gold is galvanising audiences wherever it plays

Hauntingly human by exploring the plight of Ethiopian coffee farmers whose appalling poverty is laid at the door of a few multinationals and us uninformed consumers

Everyone should see it

STIMULATING - Black Gold has roused sufficient outrage to frighten some of the biggest coffee corporations into justifying their buying practices

LA TIMES Nov 9, 2018

Riveting and jaw-dropping..

David Gritten Dec 1, 2018

Remarkable - A moving but scandalous story. Black Gold has extraordinary power. ....(and) evokes an emotional response while trading in intriguing, complex, real-world issues…..This is entertainingly told, and instructive about how little we in the West consider how our coffee reaches us.

Robert Koehler Dec 1, 2018

Visually ravishing... The Francises are aces behind the camera

Film raises hackles in the coffee shops of power

Gorgeously-shot... Black Gold shows that improving human rights can sometimes be as simple as paying more for your morning coffee.

Compelling, beautifully shot feature-length debut

AJ Schnack Dec 1, 2018

….an enlighting and thoroughly excellent film about coffee…With an extremely deft and subtle style, the Francis brothers take an issue that we all vaguely know about and create a film that requires/compels us to do something...
