dirty and don't void of intelligence nor any belief in this many of their forefathers was the slaves of plantation anice. little wordlessly under our fathers and grandfathers were driven off their land. and then they were forced to work for the germans. as co-op members then now firmly in control of their own destinies but these coffee growers have witnessed some terrible things more important the military did not care at all they killed women children whole families they burned down our houses destroyed our crops. from switzerland has headed the federation of coffee growers corporative coca-cola for 30 years during that time he's turned this organization of small scale farmers into quite a model a 2nd largest coffee exporter despite resistance from the economic elites what the

moment is to see don't know what a mullah needs a more just and equal society not privileges for their view. is to achieve this goal in a dispensed with traditional development model s. . how society is always on them i don't say aid anymore it's been struck from my vocabulary of aid creates dependency and that's something no one should have. said oh the co-ops have become an example of how progress can be made in a poor country. missing and known to man money when the intrapreneur real organization with a social focus and that aims to distribute our profits downwards and. women are among those who stand to profit. for their. we can do because we're capable of learning everything so nothing's impossible.

thank . the volcanic or fire volcano is most active volcano. even months after the deadly eruption of june 28th the devastation is still evident. the disaster took many by surprise. a river of hot ash gas and fragments of rock rushed down at a speed of over 100 kilometers per hour. around 200 people lost their lives. locally tomake films the irruption lost 80 relatives. he himself

barely escaped. the co-operative union who restart didn't lose any members but they were all forced to leave their homes and now their harvest is just a fraction of what it once was. but when the fire volcano erupted the coffee farmers lost a large part of their plantations. you know they're moving look at the. back of them are very very. i feel very brittle his court now has been the managing director of their cooperatives umbrella organization for 3 decades together with local members he examines the damage. part of the river of scorching hot lava which reached temperatures of up to 600 degrees celsius flowed through the coffee plantations. the coops members want their organization to keep on delivering food

and they also need a tractor. perfect may well take care of the food and see what i can do about the tractor and local support also. courtney is originally from switzerland in 1980 came to quite amala as the sales rep for a coffee trader he travelled the country paying visits to the maya peoples. pommels he says he. saw back then it was more of an adventure because you also went to the highlands and mixed with people. whose. name was still stuck in the cold war but at least they were slowly moving away from the worst of the long song it was alarming to see what people had to do to survive their. view. these people who couldn't see the homeless on the other hand the people had

a sense of basic trust. they know who means well and who's up to no good. luck so i always had a good feeling in my heart apart from the cold war situation which still permeates guatemala to this day called to her yet. in guatemala. somehow you don't have the feeling that a real peace has emerged yet there won't. be a scream the 2nd anything if it is. the mayan population continues to be subject to racism under the pretext of fighting communism the military killed thousands of indigenous peoples or turned them into refugees. during the civil war in guatemala we were persecuted by the military because they thought we supported the get a yes. both of. us suspected that we were supporting the military. so we got caught in the crossfire and to save ourselves

we fled to mexico. but me. as a result of peace talks in 1995 the maya families from who we still returned and founded a co-operative at the foot of the fire. now they must once again search the new land it's a never ending. we take a journey back in time to explore the past of what a model as indigenous peoples. back to the region rubin dario pacquet comes from. he's visiting a co-op operated by the pub my a people in us it was here that the history of coffee production began in guatemala . so you know i'm from the catchy ethnic grown of

a little bit up around this area of where out of better parts of the world and like me these company arrows have learned how to plant coffee from their forefathers. now it's time to harvest the coffee. that. europeans 1st brought the plants to the americas in 1720 to this day coffee is one of them on this principle cash crops. for the coffee has historically been a source of those dependency and liberation. coffee created riches for the few that's the cost of the many. sudden they morally would have. only recently did that become she go into the

coffee business for themselves by forming the co-operative. form. of. in 850 guatemala industrialized coffee farming. the government souls the indigenous peoples community property to rich german immigrants. yeah you're struck head on let them know they've brought with them the technology and knowledge to improve the coffee production. and little thought word and essentially that our forefathers were driven off their land and then forced to work for the german. this i will have

almost all of my ms you know of ms well some of my most their lives in germans had their own coins equalness was more narrow and their what they paid my father and grandfather with the withdrawal of all equal this was more net you could only spend these coins in the owner's shop. so they were practically the coffee producers layout would be that. looking for clues that the cemetery in co van the capital of the department of out of the us. until the 2nd world war broke out this area was largely in german hands. the german set this was to provide the gym an empire with a reliable supply of coffee and deal with the guatemalan government allowed them to

retain mecham a nationality. the wealthy plantation owners compelled the maya people to work as forced labor has. aided by a law that for paid vagrancy. german families owned over 100 states in out of our pass today one of the old manor houses serves as a hotel and a museum dedicated to germany's colonial ambitions it once belonged to the tow my family who emigrated from frankfurt in 888. in. selvin lopez pele as is a coin collector with an interest in guatemalan history he's collected over 100 different koreans formally used us currency on coffee plantations it's the little

boy you couldn't save them up will spend them in any other store only on your own foam the next morning commander and really i think the era of the german coffee barons in guatemala ended soon after the outbreak of world war 2 many germans left of their own free will to join the fighting. the hope that their midler told them they should return to germany and support the war effort many germans left and gave up their estates. we have companeros here in alt i bet a pause who stayed on the farm. to this day it doesn't belong to them it's still registered in the germans name by this is a history of number of alabama's. but coffee also stimulated a sense of resistance. it was me by the way up when my father worked for the german miners. and he told us how little by little he brought beings home to plant his

own coffee. by liz. it's a traditional trait members of the akhi cooperation in out of our past washed their freshly harvested coffee cherries. they then separate the business from the fruit. after being left if and meant for 24 hours the beams are washed for a 2nd time to remove any remaining pulp. the good right the nice thing to the bottom of the washing can now. move. on ripe old poor quality ones. and our me. then the beans are laid out to dry. possible whatever but the presence of there always come

times in which prices are low it is but in the good times you have that we've been able to pay off our debts and update our production facilities in both us that's improve the plantations a copper able to day we have companeros who has plantations can rival the big ones while good while good food got on the profits reaped from coffee growing allowed rubin dario to go to university that made him suspect in the eyes of the government which allied itself with that they clown danas during the civil war. when bomb iraq when the military realized that the guerrillas were trying to contact us i will but they started following us. in the 1980 the soldiers blew up the buildings of the university here in karbala the noisy end of agenda back then some 40 years ago ruben dario pacquet had to flee his hometown of coven. his name was on the military's black list. he found shelter and work with.

him on the city. and he's been a member of the famous cooperative since the very start. working with. this is where the strings of the world market for coffee after old. coffee was one of the 1st truly global commodity nice and with the stock exchange guatemalan small farmers are connected to the whole wide world. he trained as a banker put the co-op's coffee on the commodities markets letting them avoids dodgy middlemen. the small scale coffee farmers formed their federation in 1979 in the middle of a civil war which pitted the army against the maya population and maya's received support from 3rd world organizations around the well. here feel about that

bounder was so good they practically turns medical card walk into a charity of the it was a place where we could ask for support. and then really campbell we and said that concept had no future they were born and what we do on the day came when we stopped receiving any development paper we better get to work ourselves. 4th. quarter now was an outcast himself when he started working for federico. before that he built up a swiss trading companies coffee business in guatemala. but to be able to increase exports he'd have had to pay a hefty price. so. i wasn't prepared to do that so i called switzerland right away to ask what i should do you know go from them only to say my boss at the time said i didn't know how

things worked in such countries that paying bribes was common practice and it had to be done stroller because we were small for. the home it holds and i resisted that and it was clear they thought i was fairly my own nest and had no future at the company so all this new macos into account. well then came to the fed a coke at the well as an adviser. later he became the organizations director. so. when the very 1st thing i tried to make clear to them was trying to solve your fuel cells is a lot that need don't wait for someone to arrive with the gold say the life is gone slap but that just doesn't happen. all co we have to tackle the problems ourselves and see if we can get some support. my don't say aid anymore it's been struck from

my vocabulary creates dependency and that's something no one should miss you should be able to develop freely the club at least that's what i learned in switzerland with the. coca-cola sales manager for 3 decades he's worked with cork now as he demanded efficiency and productivity from the co-ops members. when the mentality that's we sentimentalities came together a swiss one and that of a small farmer from guatemala. the result was 500 percent growth but at the because all the cooperatives in the federation we banded together to hind courthouse ideas. good i think the most important thing brought to federal court was the idea that small farmers needed to take themselves seriously on this list but before that they and their organizations were

programmed to peddle misery to inspire. me syria or. we showed them something else. that they could be proud of their own work of what they produced some 40 years of high quality coffee. they look at. the world away from here coffee. he has become a luxury good and a lifestyle accessory it gives people a lift and a few moments of pleasure. for the maya people coffee is intertwined with their recent history one they've often suppressed only now that they've achieved economic independence many able to speak of the poverty and horror they've experienced.

aftermath of the guatemalan civil war. the last of phyllis young as coffee harvest is laid out to try. one broken i see i grew up in a poor family. i didn't have any shoes and walked through the streets barefoot with my disability. when i turned 7 my father didn't want me to go to school you know enough that he had to go away at that and that's where. we my mother didn't want that either because we had neither the money nor whom to live from my but my father finally relented and i rode myself in school but when you're fully. in the square back then there were no female teachers from the issue in the main so i took a course to be able to work with children if. that's on course up the lawyer what

old. who it was our war your puppet all were those again a year old is the boss claimed ya think i have gorillas at my finger. and it's these folks from the mountains from the neighbor from china who were getting me into such trouble so we going to send them packing if i came a letter like that a whole affair this with the only later did i see for myself that half the kidnappings began the mass abduction is in effect with the rough muslims what.

this town was then we heard of the massacre. then in. and sealed. and we were afraid. we thought we have to flee to the mountains throw away our lines that better rouse their head and we have. to. say being willing to listen to. the military came at 5 in the morning and called everyone together by now at 6 o'clock we had to be on the village square and that was the 23rd of march. and when i left it all the men were gathered

together in the catholic church they came out in pairs and in former said he's one he's not or both of them are and then they were led to the school and killed. they were shot dead just like that accused of being kerry yes. but those 85 men who were killed weren't guerrillas. my husband went in shock and april 982 he went to a school where he taught. with the children in the community. and then very honestly strung out the children he was. that was supposedly the truth. the children or 1314 but he said do you know 18 years old it made no difference. the teachers were made to watch if they refused they were

forced to hang the children because they would get. my husband lost his mind he didn't recognize his children anymore he didn't know me anymore. he died in 1902. this was because when the victims were buried the military sent the women away. they said go to santa delfina. because soon your homes will be on fire. and so they burned down the village so. they lost more than $300.00 houses just 2 weren't front to the ground. where were. you i was 20 years old there were 30 of us boys and they forced us to work for the military. 7.

but i never killed anyone i'm not the kind of person who kill anybody i'm a decent man. but those involved are mentioned here at. the security forces i think a lot. on the 23rd of march and 982 of them on military join the security forces i think a lot of bad luck to massacre the village of it all because their names are here. and. in the civil war lasted until 99624 years in total. 200000 people were killed most of them mayans. the fight against small guerrilla groups with used as a pretense to conduct a war of annihilation against the indigenous population. similarly after my

coast fought back coffee with them when they returned to the mountains but now people here are worried in recent years the price for a bag of coffee has fallen from around $200.00 u.s. $1.00 to $100.00 yet the expenses are just as high. i just don't it's not enough the price is too low but if you can audit the quarterback it's awfully young my shahadah deleo has to explain to the cooperatives members that they are reliant on the world markets. up and. get them. out of the current prices are dependent on the international price of coffee. spilled coffee. but he also has some good news a japanese bias is prepared to pay $25.00 more for a 46 kilograms sack of coffee. on herring that those
