Living in the wake of collapsed coffee prices and lingering intolerance created by the Idi Amin regime of terror, a group of Christian, Muslim and Jewish Ugandan coffee farmers challenged economic and historical hurdles by forming “Delicious Peace Coffee Cooperative” in 2004. The co-op had twin goals: economic development and the building of peaceful interrelationships. Partnering the next year with a Fair Trade US buyer, the standard of living of the farmers is improving, harmony is flourishing, and their messages of peace and fair wages are spreading to their neighbors as well as their coffee customers in the US. Delicious Peace won “Best Documentary” at the Bronzeville Film Festival in Chicago in June 2010. Narrated by Ed O’Neill (From the TV Show “Modern Family”).
