Aquiares
In Central America, you can’t tell the story of coffee without mentioning war. This is Alfonso. He's hugged Fidel Castro and President Reagan chartered a private plane so he could attend a photoshoot at the White House. In the 1980s, Alfonso almost gets murdered three times for trying to bring democracy to Nicaragua. And all the while, his sanctuary, the coffee farm “Aquiares", begins collapsing too. This story reveals the blood and tears that could fill your morning cup of coffee. ———————————— If you haven't already, please subscribe to the show and review us on iTunes! https://itunes.apple.com/de/podcast/filter-stories/id1428327760?l=en&mt=2 Join the Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jamesharper/filter-stories-youve-heard-the-story-now-taste-the?ref=30q5cc Sign up to the Filter Stories newsletter here: http://www.eepurl.com/dD-sY1 Recommend Filter Stories to other podcast lovers on Podyssey! https://podyssey.fm/podcast/itunes1428327760-Filter-Stories More episode information here: https://medium.com/@FilterStories Piano music composed and performed by James Harper Sound mixing: Dom Edgley / https://domedgleysound.com/ Filter Stories logo: https://headquarters.studio/ A big thanks to: Ariel Bravo, the Robelos, Fabio Gadea Mantilla, Carlos Fernando Chamorro Editorial thanks: Kinga Pecak, Daniel Orgera, Anja Krieger.
