Coming to VOD today, Tuesday, December 16 and to theatres this Friday, December 19: A SMALL SECTION OF THE WORLD
Lesley Chilcott’s profile of a women-run coffee collective made its bow at Woodstock this Fall. Other festival screenings have included DOC NYC, Indie Memphis, and Savannah. In addition to theatrical engagements, FilmBuff now releases the doc on VOD platforms including iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Google Play, Playstation, Time Warner Cable, VHX, Vudu, XBOX, and Xfinity, with Netflix to follow next month.
I previously wrote about the film for DOC NYC’s program, saying:
In equal measures inspiring and endearing, Leslie Chilcott’s film spotlights a group of Costa Rican village women who, seeking a way to offset the economically motivated flight of their husbands and sons from the community, form ASOMOBI, a coffee-growing collective – despite not knowing the first thing about growing coffee. Persevering through a steep learning curve and numerous setbacks, ASOMOBI captures the attention and support of a local exporter, and through her, the international coffee industry.
