Black Gold is a 2006 feature-length documentary film. The story follows the efforts of an Ethiopian Coffee Union manager as he travels the world to obtain a better price for his workers' coffee beans.
The film is directed and produced by Marc Francis and Nick Francis from Speakit Films, and co-produced by Christopher Hird. It premiered at Sundance in 2006.
The film focuses on the coffee growers of the Oromia Region of southern and western Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee. It follows Tadesse Meskela, the General Manager of the Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union, as he visits coffee-growing regions in Sidamo and Oromia (including the Kilenso Mokonisa Cooperative in the Bule Hora woreda in the Borena Zone of the Oromia Region), as well as a coffee processing center, a coffee auction house, and his union's headquarters in Addis Ababa. He also travels to England and the United States in an effort to promote Ethiopian coffee by eliminating the numerous middlemen. There is also a scene where coffee farmers pray to God for a higher price, which was filmed at the Negele Gorbitu Cooperative, located near Irgachefe in the Abaya woreda of the Borena Zone. The Ethiopian coffee farmers speak about their lives, with one explaining that he is cutting down his coffee plants and planting khat (a plant containing cathinone, an amphetamine-like stimulant) instead, due to the low price he is getting for coffee because of the explosion in the number of coffee farmers across the globe, and the comparatively higher price he can get for khat.

see "thenevskyprospect.bandcamp.com" for ongoing construction of a proper release. BLACK GOLD was originally written and record in 2006 using various recording methods (many I have forgotten). What I can say about this track is that it was recorded solely with SM-57 miss.

Can you pass me the black gold?
I wanna know how many shirts got sold
I'm gonna beat you in soccer
we bought our Juve-shirts in an Italian footlocker
We saw the real world today
poor swedes were afraid
left France behind us broke some fingers of Magnus'.
Like it or not, I always say that I'd rather go home
like it or not, this time I never wanted to go home
Ingredients is a big thing
we crown Stavanger as king
wanna see more of Moulder
at night the bus is getting colder
we saw the real world today
did you know it's in Brussels?
Now we hope that you missed us
we'll be home to X-mas.
Wanna see you again someday soon, it'd be great
you're totally o.k.
It's over now, it's December
