Coffee - most of us consume it daily, with barely a thought given to the controversies surrounding the pittance paid by multinational giants to the coffee growers in Africa and Latin America.

1:30 Qiujing Wong, Borderless Productions
A small press release caught my eye some time ago - it was a story about a couple of New Zealanders with a production company called Borderless Productions. The release told of Qiujing Wong and Dean Easterbrook's imminent trip to Kenya, where they would be filming footage for a documentary called "A Grandmother's Tribe". Qiujing is on the line from Nairobi.
