Run Across Ethiopia film premiers at State Theatre

From staff reports

The Glen Arbor Sun chronicled On the Ground’s Run Across Ethiopia this past January, as editor Jacob Wheeler joined a team of runners who traversed 250 miles across rural Ethiopia to raise money for fair-trade coffee farmers. Now “When We Run”, videographer James Weston’s documentary about Run Across Ethiopia, will premier this Saturday at 8 p.m. at the State Theatre as part of the Great Lakes Bioneers Conference. The trip, with support from Higher Grounds Trading Company, raised awareness and money for the development of schools in Ethiopian coffee farming communities. The Earthwork Collective’s Seth Bernard and May Erlewine performed the original soundtrack. After the film you’ll be able to meet members of the cast and production crew for an informal Q & A session.
