Film series- Mario Delatour, Kafe Negro

This is a past event.

Kafe Negro is the story of migration linked to a small grain that became the world’s second most traded raw material. The journey begins in Saint-Domingue, the world’s leading producer of coffee in the 18th century, with French residents fleeing the Haitian Revolution and taking their know-how to Cuba, where they start a “coffee revolution.” Kafe Negro is primarily the story of waves of migration of workers from Haiti who gradually transformed the island’s culture and demographics, allowing a coffee-growing culture to develop in Cuba.
