Northampton Committee Announces Screening of
"Chocolate Country", Friday, May 9


"Chocolate Country" documents a fair-trade cacao
farmer's cooperative in the Dominican Republic: how
they live, how they produce, and how fair trade
benefits them.

The director, Robin Blotnick, and the producers,
Northampton locals Jill Higgins and Joe Blotnick, will
be there to present and discuss the film. "Chocolate
Country" came into being while Jill and Joe were Peace
Corps volunteers in the Dominican Republic working with
the cacao farmers' cooperative, and their film maker son
came to visit. There will be Fair Trade chocolate
tasting!

The Northampton Committee to Stop the War in Iraq is
sponsoring a free screening of "Chocolate Country" on
Friday, May 9 at 7:00 p.m. at the Media Education
Foundation, 60 Masonic Street in Northampton.

The event is free. The venue is accessible. Discussion
will follow. For more information, call the contact
