Through the eyes of an indigenous Tseltal-Maya family, A Six Dollar Cup of Coffee contrasts a coffee co-op in Chiapas, Mexico with third-wave coffee shops in Seattle, USA. Understanding coffee as a way to protect their identity, their land, and their right to live under better conditions, the family struggles to sell its product abroad as a finished product, questioning the specialty coffee paradigms of quality.
